Methods to our Adness!
In the days when I was in the market for a home, I always wondered why
some Real Estate Ads never had a price or address. I must admit that this
was very frustrating to me for I always wanted to just drive by first and
check on the house before I committed to calling my agent at the time. I've
noticed others feel the same way so I can completely understand. Due to the
ability to have access to almost all the information we can think of, it
should seem that this should be true as well with a house we want to buy.
However, although most of us out there who are searching for a home
genuinely want more info on a house so we can "just drive by", there are
those sick people out there who have to ruin it for us all. There have been
numerous cases of people who prey on folks who sell there home and like to
drive by to see if a house is vacant or not. As a Realtor, we are the shield
against such knot heads. It is our job to attempt and screen potential
buyers from those who may have shady objectives to steal your copper or
other possessions. Granted, I do get several calls for those just wanting
addresses and I give it to them most of the time, for if someone was
attempting to do more than just "drive by" I would at least have their
number on my caller id. So always know that there is a method to our madness
and the method is always in the best interest of everyone's safety.
