To be sure there are exceptions to the rule; the absolutely fair and wonderful family that wouldn't walk through a doorway without saying, "After you". However most families that I have seen and that includes my own disfunctional clan, would fare better if they never did any kind of business with each other! I would go so far as to say an agreement family wide not to do so might end up saving not only the problems the interaction brings but the hurt feelings the lack of "Use" causes... If you are the vendor that supplies goods or services to the family (I have supplied same with my real estate school.<a href="http://stevesimon.us" rel="nofollow"> Folks got their Florida real estate license online at a very low cost</a> ), you must know by now that the favor is rarely appreciated. The giver ends up sorry and the one given doesn't feel they were given enough. Just my opinion but if you do wish to do business as a provider of either a good or service to family members, do so because you love them and don't expect anything in return...

Sometimes I think not working with family at all is better. But then sometimes if you refer them to someone else it ends up being worse! It’s hard to say.

With buying a home, there are many emotions involved, the costs can add up quickly, and people can be wishy washy at times. Using a friend or family member to be your broker/agent is a good way to end that relationship. Therefore I highly recommend you use an outside, unbiased, 3rd party to help you with your next home purchase.

I can understand the privacy issues but what he knows I don't mind. I guess if it ever changed such that I needed to hide something i'd switch Mortgage professionals. For now i'm happy to throw business his way as he endures the tough times for his industry.
