I remember several years ago at my accountants office. He was going over clients tax returns who used turbo tax. He was trying to straighten out the returns some of which were being audited. His comment was everyone thinks they are an accountant because of this software.
That brings me to my point. Ever since all these cable show, flip this house, design on a dime and so on and so on. Everybody now thinks they are a real estate agent. I guarantee I don't know everything. I have an abundance of agents and brokers to ask what they think. These people feel they know it all just from television.
I recently listed a house in Slidell Louisiana and the client didn't have any landscaping. When I queried him about it I was floored by his response. He had seen or read somewhere that the return was zero. I told him if he wanted top dollar he had to landscape the front of his house. We debated back and forth and his wife finally took my side. They landscaped the front with minimal plants. I listed the house but told him he had to do more. I am still waiting for his response.
