Searching Homes For Sale and finding the right Real Estate Agent is not always a smooth process. I was recently approached by a friend, who asked me to help him find a House For Sale in Harrisburg Pa . He was perplexed when I told him that I would rather not help him. He was borderline upset, mad and confused. Why not, he asked me? Well let me tell you the reason's why! I value our friendship, I have seen way to many relationships, that have been ruined by doing business with friends or family. I explained that I would be happy to give my opinion on the houses he found. But that is as far as I go. There are way to many things that can go wrong that could be blamed on me.
The first thing you will here when you take this approach is, I will never blame you for any problems. Then when the air conditioner blows up one day after closing on the house. Guess who get's blamed. When your friend get's termites, Radon, Black Mold, Lightning Strikes, Etc. You see there is an old saying "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" is very true. In my younger years I have sold to friends and family and has always been very uncomfortable for me. If you think this will not happen to you. I wish you luck, because if your friend does not blame you. His wife most certainly will place all the blame on your shoulders. You might feel completely different, and think you are the only one that is going to look after his best interest.
The reality is, if you live by this advice Thanksgiving dinner will go a lot smoother. Good Luck!
