A quick note from the Mak Family... After a season on the bench training hard with the Clarkson Rep team, we are so proud that NTM was "called up" to play in a few of their end-of-season games.

Similarly, now that the market has cooled a little bit, Buyers ask if they can somehow get out of the deal because the property isn't worth as much as it used to be!
