Hi Ari Taylor - this is so true.  Unfortunately, many of our customers think they are getting all the info they need by googling it.  It is up to us to educate them in a non-confrontational way when this comes up.  They need to learn to "google us"!!!

I realized how, much online resources are like WebMd when a seller called freaking out about an FHA appraisal and that his house wouldn't pass-after I talked him down, i wrote this. Just got the appraisal back with no issue!

Ari,

The truth is in the Internet, and when that fails you can watch HGTV, check out Zillow and I almost forgot the Media who knows everything that is good for you and bad, and if they don't they have talking heads who fit the bill.  

Real estate is about relationships.  A

Oh HGTV....that's always fun-"Why can't I buy one of those fixer uppers for $10,000, like on HGTV?" I actually had to remind that client, gently, that they were looking in Boston, not Texas and home values are not universal. It is all about relationships!

Important advice Ari, when an important decision is to be made it is so important to seek the advice of a good professional.
