Improving the Real Estate Buyer's Lot

There are holes in the information available to buyers. They need to be filled. Generally they're filled by realtors, but how do you know that the realtor is not selling you a tale?

  • Where is the property?
  • What is the town like?
  • What are the schools like?
  • What are the neighbors like?
  • How is the commute?
  • What else is nearby?
  • Is this worth it?
  • Can I afford it?
  • How will the area change?
  • What do you mean the taxes are going up!?
  • Would I prefer some other town?

This development is the sort of thing the buyer wants to know, but the journalist's recitation does not demonstrate the extent of the development, nor allow the buyer to judge whether or not this will impact his decision to purchase. The buyer asks, "Does it change the character of the town?"
