Someone Shoot the Weatherman!

By
Real Estate Agent with Vegas Grand Realty and Property Management s.0067929 NV

If you say to a friend, "you better wear your boots and take an umbrella because it is raining outside and the weatherman says, it is going to rain for the next two days", are you being negative?

I know, attitude is everything, PMA, lemons and lemonade, bloom where you are planted, etc.

Facts are still facts, and the consumers rely on us for information, I don't believe HYPE is any where in the definition of information. They look to us for trends that we are in the unique position to see. If you know your market, and see the trends are headed in the wrong direction, do you just omit facts? Or do you tell the truth at the risk of being labeled negative, or a fear monger?

I for one will continue to speak the truth, good, bad or indifferent. I believe my clients deserve nothing less.

Truth is good.  The problem with much of the "information" presented, however, is that it is simply opinion.  ... and most of the opinion is being presented by people who did not survive through the last couple of Real Estate recessions.

Chris - You are absolutely correct.  It is our job to sort through the hype (good and bad) and present the truth.  Their are few if any generalities that apply.  Market conditions vary from neighborhood to neighborhood are our clients needs, wants, and resources are even more diverse.  Every situation must be evaluated based on the facts of that particular transaction.

Bill,

I completely agree, I am talking about market numbers, facts and trends in those numbers. Every idiot in the world has an opinion, and most are anxious to share it with you.

Mortgages are down in Florida, but my business is right about average.  I guess I wasn't listening to the reports.
