A recent article in Realtor Magazine told the amazing story about a young couple who were negotiating with a seller to purchase a home. It seems their addiction to revealing themselves on social media got the best of them. Take a peek at this story.

Be Careful, Buyers!

“A couple who had made an offer on a home shared a detailed account of their deal on a social networking site. They severly compromised their negotiating position by writing about how badly they wanted the house, and even the actual amount they were willing to pay! What is it with the social networking phenomenon that makes people feel compelled to share every detail?”

If you are a Realtor, it seems today’s market demands you have a social media consultation as part of your seller and buyer prep talk. Cases like this are the reason why!

Buyers – please think twice before you reveal confidential information to a public internet site! What appears to be a private conversation with your friends is actually being published to the whole world!
