I had a property listed for sale and when we received an offer, the sellers did not take it – the owner called his brother who lived in Ohio and convinced him that he should not take the offer.

That is often the problem with free advice – it ends up costing you more than you know.  The seller’s brother knew nothing about real estate and advised his brother incorrectly – in the end causing him to lose money. 

It is important to consult a reliable source when dealing with the real estate market; you wouldn’t ask a farmer to diagnose your illness – you would want a reliable doctor.
