When Investing $760,000 For A 4-BR Residence In 22066, Is It Smart To Follow The Golden Rule?

When you're shopping 4-bedroom houses in 22066 in Great Falls, should you as a property hunter consider what I as a seller would want from a buyer? Photo of 1096 Pensive Ln 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. Photo of 1096 Pensive Ln Sometimes it's hard to see how the Golden Rule applies to buyers and sellers. After all, don't they want contrary goals? Photo of 1096 Pensive Ln It doesn't mean you have to pick up house with a garage, if you don't need or want a garage. It doesn't mean that you're expected to pay more than a abode like 1096 Pensive Ln is worth. But it does mean that: We always remember the seller is entitled to the same level of humanity, dignity, and sense of fairness as I expect for my buyer client. I believe the Golden Rule transcends divisions of class, status, or race. We don't hang up on people. We pick up when we can. If we miss a call, we return a call. We're not interested in wasting the seller's time or the listing agent's time. I like when people treat me nicely and I want to treat people nicely. If you're in the market, please take a look at these tips.
