I was talking to a friend today he is a pharmaceutical sales rep. Interestingly the majority of doctors tell him that when a patient comes in they (the patient) already know what drug prescription they want the doctor to write. And to keep the patient happy they write it. No expert advice, no asking questions to find out what is going on with the patient and what they are trying to accomplish...just O.K. here is your prescription
Now consider the Realtors out there who go to a listing appointment and the seller tells them what price they want to list the home for. and the Realtor says OK the Realtor to get the client, to keep them happy puts the property on the market. It may or may not sell...but to keep the client they do it. (in this market listing to high and if the property does not sell it can cause you to sell for less in the long run)
Now not all doctors and Realtors are doing this. What if they had a serious conversation with you? You go to them for their skills, you want them to be honest and to help you accomplish your goal.
If you want medicine there are many online pharmacies. If you want your home listed there are many online brokers. But if you want a professional, someone with strong skills....hire one and expect an open conversation about what you are trying to accomplish.
