Does anyone else have as much trouble as I do thinking of just the right thing to put in the "about me" section of these profiles?

I am a Realtor working in the Hampton Roads/Peninsula area of Virginia. I work with both buyers and sellers but have a special fondness for first time homebuyers. I have knowledge and experience working with foreclosures and other distressed sales but by no means consider myself to be an "expert".

I dabble with technology. I don't know enough to make things really great but know just enough so that when I do mess things up, I screw them up royally. :)

And most recently, I have the distinct honor of serving as a Product Review Team Member for Inman News.

    You made some excellent points in your response but there's one point that wasn't fully addressed. Who represented the buyer? The post states that the buyer "called the listing agent and bought it". The listing agent represents the seller so certainly wasn't necessarily looking out for the buyers best interest. Not saying that the listing agent necessarily did anything deceptive, but his/her duties are to his/her client which in this case is the seller, not the buyer. Of course the agent could have been representing both parties through the dubious auspices of dual agency (a entirely different issue that I won't go into here). In any transaction, but especially in a long distance one where you are not able to be present "on site", it's always best to have someone who is there to represent you exculsively. Someone who will be your eyes and ears and advise you to do things like have additional inspections done. Anita S. Crum Associate Broker RE/MAX Peninsula anitacrum@remax.net
