Recently a client asked us for our opinion on a westside home that was sitting on the market. Our client was considering submitting an offer, and they wanted us to weigh in before writing. 

Our take was no, they shouldn't write. We were concerned about the resale value of this particular home and the potential for costly repairs in the future. 

The good news is we found a much better home for our clients just a few days later. Fortunately their offer for this home was accepted, and moving day will be real soon. 

This is a good reminder that sometimes saying no to one opportunity can open the door to a better one down the line. And knowing when to say no and when to move forward becomes easier when you have a trusted advocate by your side.
