Great discussion. I find dual agency to be a disservice to the consumer. I do not do it, and will not practice dual agency. The buyers and sellers who think dual agency is not an issue are usually the ones who end up having an issue during the transaction process. Think about it. The buyer wants to spend the least amount of money and have the most repairs done and the seller wants the most money and to do the least amount of repairs, two very different agendas. If the real estate industry wants to be perceived as a professional group, then we need to act professionally and advocate for one party, and one party only.

This is a great piece! It tells it like it is. It's great to look at any of these websites to get a "ball park" idea of value, but nothing will substitute for actually getting inside the house and knowing the actual competition. Pricing is determined by these "hardcore" numbers, the facts, coupled with an understanding of the marketplace, and the current competition. Establishing a price in today's market should be based on all of the above factors, not just the numbers. Debra Sinick, GRI,CRS Windermere Real Estate/East,Inc.
