Comments on: "Don't Buy"? A Marketing Ploy? "I'm On To You Frank!" http://blog.franklyrealty.com/2007/01/ploy.html Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:14:52 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kendra http://blog.franklyrealty.com/2007/01/ploy.html/comment-page-1#comment-1943 Kendra Sat, 27 Jan 2007 21:52:00 +0000 http://franktempblog.wordpress.com/2007/01/24/dont-buy-a-marketing-ploy-im-on-to-you-frank/#comment-1943 It is true. Frank talked me out of buying. I had a good family friend, who is a realtor, try for months to talk me into the benefits of buying... Frank was straight with me and told me all sorts of things my family "friend" had neglected to mention. I am a young female and plan on either being married or living in Hawaii in the next few years. Either way, this coupled with a lot of other factors, makes it so that buying would be horrible for me at this point in my life. Thanks Frank! He is for real! It is true.

As a lender, I often will discuss delaying a home purchase until a buyer is in a better position. More often than not, it is the agent who is pushing the buyer (as you mention). I'm sure I've lost a real estate agent or two for putting the borrower first...that's life if the big city!<br /><br />I'm from Seattle and, knock on wood, we have not experienced the market turn-around that other areas in the country have as of yet.

I have watched your videocast at least a dozen times. I love when you impersonate the cell phone commercial! Your brutal honesty is sexy. Thanx so much for keeping it "frankly" real (ty). Frank,
