Funny thing about real estate blogs

As I have been looking at real estate blogs I've started to notice something interesting.

The buyer agent blogs post about problems to watch out for when buying a home or a condo, and the regular real estate agent blogs post about houses they have listed.

Here is an example of a couple blogs relating to Ann Arbor real estate: (There really aren't any Plymouth Michigan blog sited other than this one right now.)

http://annarborrealestate.blogspot.com/ Here, the agent Kathy Toth talks about her recent listings. (And you can bet she never says anything bad about her listings.)

Contrast that to the area's exclusive buyer agent site (ours):

The last couple of posts include discussions on problems with Zillow property values, a title company that is doing terrible closings where a buyer has to wait 4.5 hours and still not have the correct figures, and a new negotiating tactic used by lenders selling foreclosures.

I'm going to check other markets to see if this is consistent around the country.

As a listing agent it is our responsibility to post on the best features of our houses.

It is up the the buyer to fall in love with the house and get the best price.

You need both.
