Grand Torino; A Movie with a little Real Estate in it

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Premier

I went to the movies last week with my wife and saw Grand Turino.  I have to say it was a good movie!  You have to accept the plentiful amount of racial slurs, but there is a great point to the movie.  Get to know your neighbors, it can be extremely helpful.

The movie shows what can rapidly happen when people don't care for their homes and neighborhood.  Quickly the neighborhood becomes in disrepair and the pride is lost.  This eventually results in lower sales prices and longer times to sell.  I wish everyone would take pride in what they buy.  I definitely recommend watching the movie.

What did others think of the movie?

Ryan I don't remember the last time I went to the movies.  I'll have to keep this one in mind.  I had not heard of it before your post.

Hey Ryan,

the movie was filmed in my area!  Detroit has suffered greatly from homeowner neglect.  The standard joke in Detroit is that many have a care worth more than their home.  Guess which one they take better care of?

Now for the ones who have not seen this movie, I don't want to make it sound like it is about real estate.  It really isn't at all.  It's the subtle things, you the Realtor, will notice while watching.
