“New questions have just been posted in Toms River”, read my e-mail alert from Trulia Voices!
Excitedly, I clicked on the link to this “new” question, intending to be the first to “answer” it. Much to my chagrin, I was not. But here is what I found that was even more disturbing; the “answers” most of my peers were giving the person that asked the question!
Judge for yourself.
Here’s the original question as asked, by a home-buyer in Toms River, on Trulia Voices:
how can i get a list of all the condo complexs in ocean and monmouth counties?
Pretty straight forward. Right?
Now, here is the “first response”:
An agent can send you all of them from the MLS. Feel free to email me and I would be more than happy to send them over
Excuse me? Is it me or does this agent have it all wrong?
And it’s not just her (sorry ladies); 3 more agents gave almost identical “answers”!
As a real estate professional, what would make you think this, or anything similar, is an acceptable “answer”?
Before I give you my “answer”, let me ask you a question:
As a Home-Buyer/Home-Seller in Toms River, what “answer” would you expect?
Please leave the “answers” you would expect, if you had asked this question, in the “comment section” below. I would love to read your thoughts and feelings on this subject.
After I read your “answers”, I will share my actual “answer” to this question, asked by a home-buyer in Toms River. Thank you for your time, consideration and contribution.
