That was a ‘white lie’. If a young boy dresses up as a monster on Halloween and asks his father if he looks ‘really scary’, it was okay for his dad to say ‘YES’! That was a ‘white lie’.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp style=\"color: #444444;\">In both cases, the person telling the ‘white lie’ was saying what the other person wanted to hear. In both cases, there was no harm in not telling the 100% truth. In both cases, it was a ‘white lie’. However, if we are not telling the 100% truth in order to save someone’s feelings AND IT HURTS THEM, we are lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3 style=\"color: #222222;\">\u003Cb>What does this have to do with real estate?\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\n\u003Cp style=\"color: #444444;\">We believe there are some in the real estate industry more worried about a homeowner’s feelings than they are about telling the truth about the current value of their home. These agents are not necessarily malicious. They just realize they may disappoint a seller at a listing appointment by telling the truth about what the house will sell for. They find it difficult to deliver tough news. To make sellers feel better, they lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3 style=\"color: #222222;\">\u003Cb>Good agents can deliver good news.
