As I talk with people throughout the day about buying and selling property, I continually hear these kinds of comments: Our landlord recently raised our rent and we don’t think that is fair. We’ve decided to buy a house, but don’t know what we actually can afford. Our house is too large, we don’t use the pool any more, our children are grown up and we’ve decided that it’s time to think seriously about looking for another house. Our house is too small. We have three children cramped into too little space, our yard is too small and now the children want a dog. We haven’t seen any homes on the market that we like. We really don’t know what we are going to do, but wish we could get more information about our options. We don’t want to talk with a realtor just yet. We’re really not sure what we want to do. We saw a home on the market recently that looked interesting, but we don’t know how to go about buying it since we already own a home. When I ask these people whether, with no obligation whatsoever, they would like me to research the value of their present home or send them examples of homes on the market worth looking at, I’m always surprised by the reasons that people come up with to avoid followup. For example, “We would have to fix too many things in our house before putting it up for sale.” For another example: "We wouldn't know where to start! Where could we move?” The answer to all these questions and doubts is simply to take advantage of my offer of free services that will help you move on more comfortably with your life.
