    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<strong>At last, a readable, entertaining, and practical real estate guide&#8212;the perfect companion for women intent on buying a home.</strong><br/><strong></strong><br/>Once a week, six women living in Los Angeles meet to read from the <em>Tao te Ching</em> and reflect on their lives. One subject arises over and over: the dream of owning a home. One by one they take on the real estate market. They discover, among themselves, great reservoirs of expertise and experience that keep them sane&#8212;and laughing&#8212;along the way. Now, the Tao Girls want to share that expertise and experience with women who find themselves similarly confused, frustrated, or disappointed. <br/><br/><em>The Tao Girl&#8217;s Guide to Real Estate </em>offers a way to keep your head through it all, to eliminate that sense of helplessness, overwhelming tension, and emotional fatigue so often a part of finding a home. In telling their lively and often amusing personal stories, the Tao Girls also deliver a terrific dose of practical advice for buying any house&#8212;from the smallest condo to a suburban family dream house.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
