I have a client moving from out of state and she asked the question we all hate to hear "How's the neighborhood?"
I looked at her file and just shook my head. I told her "I wish I could tell you that, but that is something you have to decide for yourself" I then sent her links to sexual predatory sites, police maps (showing crime in an area)
Then I did something very unusual for this situation. I sent her a birthday card from my home! I know you are saying "You gave her your home address?" - YES I DID! Let me explain why I did this and just to tell you my client also figured it out why I did this without me saying a word.
My website has a notebook feature that lets you save properties you like. Two of the properties she saved are within 4 blocks of my home on the same street. I am hoping you got the hint also. She saw my home address saw her notebook and said I want to look at the two homes plus the six others I put in my notebook. They are all within .23 miles of my home.
I never did say word about the neighborhood, but the sexual predatory list, the police blotter and a lonely birthday card with a return address label sure did.
