Quotes
I love quotes. Referring to the wisdom of others and learning from the past are two of the great things that I “get” out of quotes. There is a great on-line resource for quotes called Wikiquote , check it out.
While browsing one day for quotes that might relate to real estate sale (in general) and
Fredericksburg, Texas (in particular), I came across one that says “Real estate agents are God’s plague upon mankind when locusts are out of season”. True pearls of wisdom! The unsolicited calls, the refrigerator magnets, postcards, etc. are tools of annoyance and (frankly) inexperience.
Why, you might ask, am I dissing my fellow real estate “professionals”? Unfortunately, I have come to realize that a growing majority of agents are not “professional” in any way, shape or form. Sadly, agents today have a mind-set that the money is easy and the clients are stupid. Nothing could be further from the truth. Clients today are smarter, savvier and better informed than at any time in the past. Armed with knowledge (and in most cases, experience) clients are increasingly seeking out representatives that exhibit professionalism and experience. Culling through the masses of agents hawking their wares like used car salesmen, however, can be a trying and frustrating experience.
So what’s a buyer or seller of real estate in Fredericksburg Texas to do? Seek out knowledge, seek experience, seek out an agent who has a “dog in the hunt” and remember, Experience Matters
