This weekend I was at my local lumber yard picking up a door for my bathroom remodel. Dolan's Lumber employs some of the most knowledgeable people in the industry.
I'm a weekend warrior when it really comes to it. I know the right end of the nail, maybe more than most, but I am far from an expert. Between Jeff, Tammy and Lorn there isn't much about doors and windows left uncovered. When I have door question, a problem, or a need - it's not Home Depot or Lowe's, there's only one place to go, it's Dolan's.
There is no substitute for correct information, products and services.
While I was in the sales office I couldn't help but overhear a conversation going on between a counter person and a customer. They were chit chatting about the Feds and how the government was going to fix the housing crunch.
Unfortunately, they had it all wrong. It wasn't the time or the place to get into a heavy discussion but I started thinking about how many other conversations were happening with the same flawed information.
THE FED'S, THE ROGUE TRADER AND CONFORMING LOANS
Friday night I met with a small group of local real estate professionals. I'm meeting with yet another group this morning. We'll probably cover many of the same topics with one important difference - our conversations will be based on correct and accurate facts. This isn't about us being smarter or better than anyone else. It's our business. It's vitally important to us. It's what we do.
Want to make your real estate professional's day?
Call them up and ask them their opinion.
"Hey Mike, what's up with this conforming loan limit I keep hearing about?"
The point I'm trying to make is this.
Go to the right people for the right information.
BTW: I highly recommend you read a great post I found: "Simple Acts of Kindness and Caring".
It's not related but Wow!

Mike,
I just read and blogged about an article in the S.F. chronicle on-line where Daniel Mudd, President and CEO of Fannie Mae talks about foreclosure rates, Fannie Mae, what may have triggered the subprime disaster, etc. You're right. Relying on a good source makes all the difference.
