So, did the buyers on lot 64 and 66 overpay too at $780k and $795k respectively. Maybe you should have been advising them that they overpaid too. Saying that someone overpaid when the market was demanding those prices due to tight supply is ludicrous. Hindsight is 20/20. If you are honest with yourself, you know that you would have sold any of those lots to someone that wanted one at the time without telling them they were overpaying.
OK Guys, start pouring the guiness or bass ale in my case. Gotta respond to this one.
I can only say, Skier, that you don't know me and have no right or basis to tell me what I would do in a situation. I'm not a car salesman. I'm not in real estate because I can't do anything else. I have 9 yrs of higher education, a professional degree in pharmacy and 11 years as an investigator.
I'm not gonna starve if somebody doesn't sign a contract and I don't need the money bad enough to allow someone to pay more than something is worth without advising them accordingly. I have, in fact advised many people that properties were priced to high. I've also advised them to walk if I felt the deal would put them at risk. I don't come from money. I worked my way through college as a single parent and nothing has ever been given to me. $100K is still a lot of money to me and a lot of people and I know that real estate purchases are some of the biggest decisions of people's life.
My experience has been that when someone believes others will be unethical it's because they lack ethics and believe others will act like them. I live by the golden rule, am thankful for what I have and good comes to me. Perhaps that's why I'm not cynical.
As you can tell, the data extraction is not so cumbersome that a bozo like me can't do it.
