  1. I am confused a little. Is the picture of the house in the slideshow the house? It does not look like the same house that is on the MLS.

    It's not the same house. I guess a plug for the Wilson Art website? The other odd thing is the word 'tout'. Had to look it up to be sure but here is the defination on Wikipedia:

    In British English, a tout is any person who solicits business or employment in an importune manner (generally equivalent to a solicitor in American English).

    A ticket tout is someone who engages in ticket resale for more than the face value of the ticket (though a ticket reseller is known colloquially as a scalper rather than a solicitor in U.S. parlance).

    Another example would be a person who frequents heavily touristed areas and presents himself as a tour guide (particularly towards those who do not speak the local language). In a similar fashion a tout would be someone who, acting upon his own initiative, loads or unloads the baggage from a bus, then demands payment for his services from the passengers. Some touts operate in holiday areas on behalf of local bars, restaurant or hotels, being paid to direct tourists towards certain establishments.

    In gambling parlance, a tout is a person who sells sports betting information to bettors. Another use for the term is when used to refer to an informer or spy. This use is very common in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast.
