ARE YOU FOOLISH TO POINT OUT ALL THE FLAWS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR HOUSE?

It's wise to be truthful. Apart from the moral aspects, you'll actually find that it makes selling your house easier. A forthright admission of septic tank trouble, for instance, will gain-- not lose-- the confidence of a serious prospect.

DO YOU NEED SPECIAL INSURANCE FOR YOUR VALUABLES?

The chances are that you do. To make sure, take an inventory to see just what "valuables" you own. Don't stop with obvious items like jewelry and furs. Double-check any other high-cost property-- stamp and coin collections, cameras and darkroom paraphernalia, antique furniture, really good paintings, a basement full of woodworking equipment. Then look over your insurance policies to see how much protection you are already paying for.
