Apr. 17, 2007 - Nothing But Questions And Answers

Everywhere I go these days people want to know what.  What is the market like?  What do you think is going on?  What would you do if you were me?  What would be my best move?  What, what, what?

Don't be disappointed folks, but the answer to all of these questions is pretty much the same.  The answer is "It depends".  In anticipation of the next what, I will say that it depends on who, what, where and why.  Let me expound upon this piece by piece so as not to befuddle you.

What is the market like?  It depends upon who is asking, what and where they are asking about, and why they are asking.  The "who" is asking relates to whether they are asking from the perspective of a buyer, a seller, a small talk maker, or another real estate professional.  The "what" they are asking about relates to "who" they are and the kind of property they are asking about, detached single family, attached single family, multi-unit, commercial, vacant  land, etc.  The "where" relates to the part of the greater metropolitan Chicagoland area they are inquiring about.  The "why" of course relates back to "who" they are and their motivation for asking.  For example, buyers and sellers get much better answers than do small talkers and other real estate professionals.  Small talkers get polite generic answers.  Local real estate professionals usually get wise cracks because I expect them to be doing their own research and out of area real estate professionals get the same answers that buyers and sellers get because they probably wouldn't be asking if they really didn't need to know.  Are you with me so far?

The answers to the next two whats, what do I think is going on and what would I do if I was you, pretty much follows the same logic.  As I am sure you can imagine, however, I can have tons of fun with those questions when they are asked by small talkers and local real estate professionals

Lastly but not leastly, what would be my best move?  The same logic more or less applies to that one as well, with an exception.  The final answer to buyers and seller, after they have gotten my well researched and thought out analysis, is, hire Gene Molloy to help you accomplish your dreams.  The final answer to small talkers, after a polite generic response is, but if you hire Gene Molloy, you can stop small talking and start achieving.  There is only one answer I can give a local real estate professional who would dare to ask what I thought their best move would be after I knew that they didn't know what the market was like, they didn't know what was going on and they wanted to know what I would do if I were them.  Their best move would be to go out and get a real job.

As always, if you have found yourself receiving my blog postings via e-mail, it is because I have either blogged about you personally, blogged about something I know is of interest to you, or I consider you to be a person of deep thinking and intellect and I would love to have you occasionally commenting on my blog. If you would like to be removed from the list simply send me an e-mail saying so.
