I heard this story from TV the other day:

1. A man walks down a sidewalk. He falls into a deep hole. It takes him a long time, but he crawls out.
2. The man walks down the same sidewalk and falls into the same hole but this time it takes him less time to crawl out.
3. The man walks down the same sidewalk and is pushed into the hole but he crawls out.
4. The man walks down the same sidewalk and avoids the hole.
5. The man walks down a different street on a different block.

Sometimes we just do stupid things to ourselves. And sometimes we do them over and over again until we finally learn not to do them. Like a child. And sometimes things happen to us that we didn’t deserve. We get pushed into making bad decisions. Pushed to buy a car. Pushed to buy real estate. Everyone’s always pushing. But usually, we eventually learn to avoid potential pitfalls.

Mims doesn’t push. Period. We advise.

If you are happy with your real estate agent or property management firm, keep them. If you are tired of getting hosed and losing money in real estate, and want to avoid making poor decisions, and start making good decisions, the simple answer is to use Mims Real Estate Advisors.

Because we won’t let you fall into a deep hole. Because we will give you frank principled advice. If it’s a bad real estate decision, we will tell you – do not buy this property. If it is a good real estate decision, we will tell you.

And remember, we know the difference. Combined, Jennifer and I are appraisers, licensed instructor, broker, realtor, consultants, court admitted expert witness in three counties, and have 14 years of banking experience. And designations and certifications. We can help you because we know how to help you via our experience and education. No one else in this area has our value proposition.

No one can guarantee you anything. Real estate is cyclical. It moves. But the most important thing Mims gives you besides straight answers and advice, is our thoughts and opinions based on Local Specific Data extracted from our markets.

So YOU can make a quality informed Local Specific decision.

By the way, did you know that the Definition of Market Value requires that a Seller and a Buyer be Well-informed or Well-advised? And each acting in his or her own best interest?

The next time you go to sell, buy or invest, ask yourself:

1. Am I being well-informed and well-advised by a real estate professional?
2. Is my realtor acting in MY best interest?
