Realtors are not financial advisors or economists - Where real estate fits in your asset portfolio is not something anyone should be relying on the advice of a Realtor. This simply isn't their job. The reason why you hire a Realtor is to achieve best execution of your deal. The underlying reason why you're buying or selling should be something that you have arrived at before you approach one.

Great post!
The ironic thing about people not trusting Realtors, is that they always ask us which way we think the market it going.
I'm glad to share my opinion with anyone, but am always careful to clearly state it's just my opinion and should be taken as so. There was no crystal ball supplied with my real estate license.
