Will Rodgers and Real Estate... wise man!

"In a real estate man's eye, the most expensive part of the city is where he has a house to sell"

Will Rogers quotes (Americanentertainer, famous for his pithy and homespun humour, 1879-1935)

Today is Wednesday! Yes. I know you knew that! But what this means in my book... outside of agent's caravan day, it is "Famous real estate Quote Day"!!!

 

I picked this one because I believe this sums up perfectly what we all believe as homeowners, even if you are an agent. We all pick carefully the location of our investment. Then, when the times comes to list it, we all believe (yes, believe!) that our house is worth more than what it really is! It is OK to feel this way. We have put in so much of our time and money and sweat!

When I found this quote from Will Rogers, I thought as an entertainer, he understood pretty well what people felt... still today! Let me know your thoughts. I always enjoy reading them!

Will Rogers also said: "Buy land. They aren't making any more of it." That is one of my favorite real estate quotations of all time. Of course, like many quotes, that is not what he really said, but the idea that he was getting accross in his quote was the same.

I LOVE it!!  And I also like John's quote about buying land... I noticed on my way into your blog that you posted something about Patience, so I'm off to check that out.  Have a great Wednesday, Lydie!

I think the seller of that house would agree with him!  The buyers, maybe not!
