.................are we getting too obsessed with technology and automated systems?  I showed a home to a client last week.  She called me on Friday to discuss writing an offer.  I called the Realtor Friday afternoon.  Saturday as she was at my desk writing the offer with me I got an automated e-mail asking for feedback on my showing.  If he had returned my call from the previous day, he would know that I was writing an offer.  I replied to the e-mail informing him that I had written an offer on the home......what better feedback could you ask for?  It is now Monday, he has not yet called me, but lo and behold I just got another e-mail requesting feedback on the same house again!!

This is not the first time, a few months ago I got an automated form requesting feedback on a showing I had for a particular house.  This was two days after I had writeren an offer on the home and had it all signed around!  This is ridiculous how lazy we get and what awful programs we feel compelled to use because someone gave us some sort of sales pitch.

Home inspections have become an integral part of the home buying process. When I first started practicing Real Estate back in the early nineties, the idea of a home inspection seemed like an obstacle, primarily because we did not know who to call to… more
