Again, in a perfect world. You may have advised some of your clients not to buy during the bubble. So in this respect, I agree that the experience and sophistication level matters.
Hindsight is everything here. Seems pretty obvious that some buyers trusted realtors more than they should have during the bubble and purchased a property b/c it was going to keep going up and this time it was different. I can’t count how many times I was told that. Dumb luck sometimes that I didn’t buy back then.
