I am catching up on some market news today and came across this great article at CBS MoneyWatch written by Carla Fried.
Her best insight of all is “This is where a solid and straight-up real estate agent is going to be crucial. You don't want sugarcoating; you need an honest assessment of what's in your local pipeline.”
Since first licensed in 1995 I have lost numerous clients for being "too negative".
Often criticized by my previous Brokers I always answered that I'd rather sleep at night knowing I had given my best advice, rather than painting a rosy picture when there was no valid reason for optimism.
Thanks Carla for pointing out that "sugarcoating" should not be any part of the Real Estate information you're receiving.
