Does The Buyer Fit The Neighborhood? Can You Say Anything?
This past summer, I sold a home to a young couple who I was not sure would fit in the neighborhood. Not because they were of a different race or culture, but because I knew the ilk ( I know the people - very good people) of the neighborhood, and I had gotten to know the family fairly well.
I felt in my heart of hearts that they were wonderful people and they had bought the very best house in the price range in the town they were looking in. But the neighborhood was not going to be a good fit for them. I could not figure out what to say, so I said nothing. It will probably work out, as they are a very quiet and good family, and do mind their own business, but I really was hoping they would find a neighborhood where they could establish some long term relationships. I am not sure this is the place for them.
What would you do in this case? Say something? Keep quiet as I did?

Thank you sooo much for all of these comments! I thought I was just was writing a comment about a sale I had a while ago.
I have come back in to the blog post, because I think some of the comments are beginning to get carried away a little. This is a VERY safe and VERY expensive tiny neighborhood. I was only questioning whether they could have been happier in another neighborhood.
