You Can Pick the Neighborhood but Not Your Neighbors

Cute post, Jack!  And no kidding.  I have some amazing neighbors up and down my block.  Some amazing wonderful.  Some just amazing.

Jack Lewitz All very true and so many times, I ask my buyers to walk the neighborhood around a home they are considering in hopes of speaking with the neighbors to help give my buyers a more comfortable sense of the area. I have never had a buyer not be willing to take my advice on this.

Hey, Jack!

I included this post in today's "Last Week's Favorites".  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Excellent point. I often tell potential buyers to visit their preferred neighborhoods at different times and days to get a better feel for the area. Even with that, there are no guarantees.

The best way to pick your neighbor is if your neighbor wants to sell tell your friends and family!

Great post.  I always encourge buyers to drop by neighborhood on the weekend and evenings to get to talk to the neighbors.

Good morning Jack Lewitz ,

I just caught your post on Patricia Kennedy series she does on her favorite posts. Good one...great examples!! I often encourage my buyers to meet the neighbors while looking in a community....it never hurts to know who you're getting for neighbors! I just subscribed to your post!

This is so true - you can pick your neighborhood but not your neighbors. The only way to figure out what kind of neighbors a buyer might be getting is for them to go knock on doors.. although real personalities might not be shown in a quick "hello."

Very fun post Jack and I'm glad Patricia featured it in her weekly wrap-up!

Oh boy. There is a Gladys Kravitz that stops by regularly to see me, always looking for the latest piece of gossip.
