2. In a previous newsletter, we reported the news about the $1.5 million Franklin mansion that became known for being sold as-is after being declared a total loss due to a fire late last year. The house listing, in particular, drew attention because of the photo of the mansion on fire. The owner and seller recently reported that the estate sold several days after being listed. (Newsweek)
