Hmmmm, what would my Realtor do?
- read only the washington post
Reading the Washington Post is always a mixed blessing for me. I find the information late, lacking and limited. I had for a time actually decided to stop subscribing. I prefer to get my real estate news from the source: real estate professionals. Imagine getting the news and understanding it. The trick here is naturally to convey it in a way that is meaningful and pertinent to my clients’ needs and wants. The news is used for assisting and advising. I see myself as a consultant and trusted advisor. This is not about me; however, this is about you. Where do you get your news and should you be acting upon it?
Last week’s Washington Post Real Estate Section was about FHA loans and how you should be looking into them before deciding on a home loan. Terri Rupar wrote this very good and informative article. I liked it because it went right to the point. It made me think about how easy this information could be given if there was the kind of relationship where you could just reach out and call your trusted advisor. Guess what, you can!! Yes, right now you can, and I would even say – SHOULD!, call your trusted advisor, your personal Realtor. It is mind boggling to me that most people only call a Realtor when they want to buy or sell. So with that in mind I have started this blog to talk about the things that you should be calling your trusted real estate advisor about. Stay tuned for more…
