There is a better way! Sometimes tech can't cut it :(

 

Wow, what a day. Seems like groundhog day (The Movie) Year after year I see the same mistakes people are making when searching for properties. Spoke to someone today looking 2 months in advance. Way too soon and she was wondering why she couldn't find anything and then has no idea she is simply looking too soon.

My client yesterday came in from Boston. Very nice guy but admittedly sceptical of my ability to find him the home that would siut him perfectly.......After we spendt 2 hours sifting through hundreds of rentals I picked the one. We drove to Old Town and went into the property and he said "This is the one!" Another satisfied client.

OK, now about the Tech comment. I am 100,000,000% convinced that unless you really know the market, and really understand market dynamics I don't care what Internet Site you use, you are simply going to be spinning your wheels. Realtor.com, Craiglist, Any Realtor Database simply cannot organize the information they it should be organized to provide you with the best choices. Sure, you push the buttons and some things pop up. Ah, it's magic. This one looks good, that one looks good but do you  know if the price is right? Do you know if the lease they have is legit? Is it Military owner with an owner return clause? Uh oh...the computer cannot answer these questions. Danger Will Robinson. I say, use a professional like us. We work for you not the owner. I'll save you money if I can, I'll negotiate the best terms. Oh, I know...you can do it yourself. Yes you can but I can also say that you are taking a big risk in doing so.

Anyway, have a great day and enjoy this fantastic weather and don't call me when the place you rented goes into foreclosure
