Tony Lewis can say I have.

Bingo on tenants who do not want to move.

Always critics lurking around, many have ulterior motives and should be ignored.

I don't do opinions or gossip. I only do I know... what I know... that I know

You mean like the neighbor who came over and told me a neighbor child had died in the backyard of my new listing?

facts only..... no need to worry about others sabotaging a listing....

Not sure why others find it important to make things more difficult!  

Sure.  Sometimes the tenant doesn't want to move and will say just about anything to sabotage a sale.

I've had that happen too.  Unless they can prove their statement it's considered hearsay and inadmissable as evidence in a court of law.  I'm not going to be sued over something that has no basis in reality.

Yes, a month to month tenant, at well below market rent. Solution, notice to move rent to market and he moved. Listing sold within3 days!

I believe Sergeant Friday says it well -- Just the facts ma'am.   

Yes. There are always people who will try to pull you down to their level.

Not only that, they would accost the buyer prospects when other agents would show the home and tell them negatives. Turned out, the neighbors wanted to buy the home at a substantial discount. It didn;t happen.

No

Tony Lewis Good for you! Deal only with the facts.

Usually the kind hearted starts with, "You are telling all buyers there are rental restrictions. In Ca, where I have a license, this must be disclosed."

Or, "In NY, where I was a agent 400 years ago, we always disclosed detrimental issues such as the sanitation trucks staging in the parking lot behind the fence every Thursday morning."

I always chalk it up to as the reaction of realizing ones life is experiencing measured decline in relevance.

"Thank you for sharing and have a nice day," I say.

 I only share fact not opinion or hearsay - Period!

Good morning Tony. You have an obligations to share the fact and what your seller discloses, not opinions.

If it is material I ask the seller and it is disclosed if true. Otherwise it's just hearsay.

Yes, they do, especially when you have your open house and it is not busy, some neighbors love to tell you a story:) I always ask my client about that first and disclosure if it is true. 

Tony Lewis - oh yes, only facts. People say whatever....

I don't even listen to heresay much less think I have to disclose it.

I agree with Bob Crane . A

Wags and gossips abound.  Get the facts; ignore everything else.

Facts from the disclosures, seller and inspections, all the rest is here-say unless they want to go on record and be notarized. People have their agendas.

yes! 

always get a lot of advices.....

Oh yes. They tend to like to cast doubt and spread rumors of the neighborhood and what goes one here or there.

Only the facts need to be shared.

I have not personally but I have heard mean comments during Realtor caravans.

I agree...just because a 3rd party says something does not make it true.  If I feel it is a major issue I will check it out further

Yes I have, but not very often.

of course they will, especially tenants. :)  as for the info, it applies to facts , but...there is a fine line.. and there is always the possibility of getting burned later

Minor things have been communicated by neighbors. I take those stories with a huge grain of salt.

Facts only but neighbors love to share all sorts of things
