Two Sides to Each Story

Implications: The article discusses two web-sites where visitors can weigh in with their opinions on homes for sale.

There is cause for concern among some real estate practitioners that this will lead to mischief.

In some cases public opinions seem to have corrected fluffy ads or remarks.

Analysis:

In this information age it is understandable that these two web sites and more of this nature are likely to gain a large following.

As with any information, remarks which are highly charged with emotions or skewed too far in one direction should be interpreted carefully.

In purchasing a home the guidance of a real estate professional that is looking out for the best interests of the buyer and professional inspection results should be the best guide for any buyer trying to make a decision on a purchase.

Complete reliance on web-site information from other people who have seen a home would be a mistake because each home is unique and each person's tastes and preferences is unique. 

I have seen many buyers fall in love with homes others would hate.
