When you're thinking about purchasing, should you as a buyer pause to consider the Golden Rule?
We’re all familiar with the Golden Rule: “Treat others as you wish to be treated.” And, the best of my ability, I try to do this. When you're buying real estate, should you care about a seller? It doesn't mean you should settle for a townhouse. It doesn't mean you have to buy home with a garage, if you don't need or want a garage. But it does mean that:
We respect deadlines. We are punctual. We let the seller know when we will and won't inspect the property. We never make promises we don't intend to keep.
We might not be superheroes, but we are super Realtors!
I like when people treat me nicely and I want to treat people nicely. If you're thinking of spending $489,900 and you're looking at property in Fairfax County, here are a few of my suggestions.
