| The Ever-Changing Real Estate Methods | ||||||||||
| There are many things that have changed about the real estate industry since I first entered it in the 1970s. But some of the more significant ones have been in recent years, mostly with the Advent of the World Wide Web, or Internet. "Information" has become much more readily available to the general public, even the much protected MLS systems in some parts of the country. Look at Realtor.com, and you will know what I mean. The MOST important Cog in that wheel, however, will not change in my estimation and belief. People will always NEED someone like me to "interpret" that information, and to "verify" that the information is correct. I cannot tell you how many times I have been called in on a litigation case by a lawyer for their client involved in a real estate mess "after the fact", being called as an Expert Witness for court testimony. Sometimes I was later asked to bail them out, through my real estate services, of a "good deal" gone sour. The most recent case was regarding confusion between two agents about "dual agency" and the Buyer's Agent, listing and selling prices, and two appraisals. I still and always will believe that the most important decision you will make regarding any real estate transaction, will be the person you pick to represent you, to be on your side of the table, before, during and after. So, CHOOSE WISELY. | ||||||||||
