Any Real Estate Agent can list MY house.. or write MY contract…

This post takes off on a theme introduced here. It is also the final planned post in the Misconception series.

It doesn’t matter if the agent is from Valdosta…

I commonly hear this one when the seller or buyer has a relative that is an agent in another area… but still in GA.  And we actually all go through this phase, I think…  The common quotes are as follows:
