30 years in real estate has taught me one thing about integrity: when it's a core value, being a true fiduciary is not hard. It just means your agent never puts their own interests ahead of yours. π‘
π¬ A real fiduciary tells you the hard truths, even the ones you don't want to hear, because those are the truths that get you the best outcome
π One hard truth: a home with a freeway view is never going to net what the neighbor's canyon view home does, no matter how you price it
π This past summer I had a listing in Rancho PeΓ±asquitos, great location, great school district, but once the sellers moved out, it became clear the home had a lingering odor issue. We adjusted the price honestly and got her the best possible outcome anyway
That is the job. Tell the truth, protect your client, sleep well at night. π
When you are ready to sell and want an agent who will always give it to you straight, comment READY. π²
