Bad Advice

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

WE have all seen this before.

A client comes to us with a knowing attitude.

They got advice from:

Uncle Charlie.

Neighbor Fred:

Guys at the local watering hole.

HGTV.

DIY people on the Internet.

You name it we have heard it.

 

 

 

 

Do yourself a favor and listen to a professional.

Morning again William.

If we only had a dollar for each time this has happened.  Sad thing is, it continues, sigh

I never can understand why some people are willing to listen to everyone else but not the professional that understands and is active in their market.

Happens all the time and people would more often than not believe the bad advice way easier than the professional advice.

Can you imagine if for every bad advice we get it would rain pennies from Heaven to knock some sense out of us?
