Can your offers get better over time?

PS,
Don’t blame NCJim for your personal info being shared on the web. All he did was confirm what I had already figured out with the info you gave here.
In your attempt to either prove a point or impress us, not sure which, YOU have provided everyone here with not only your Name, but that you lived on Rio Maria Road, in Poway, on 5 acres of land, selling price of 780K, and that you sold it in 2005. Now it doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure out which house was yours.
Maybe YOU should be careful about what you share.

I gave my name, but NEVER my personal address. You had no business publishing my address either. Come on people, show a little restraint.

There is nothing impressive about my sales price. I had one of the cheapest houses in town. I wasn’t bragging about anything. I have nothing to brag about.

I gave my housing information in the context of a post. It was meant to convey a personal experience, so others could learn.

I knew that the people with MLS access might snoop and check it out. I accept that.

But I never guesses someone would publish it. That was in bad taste. You didn’t have my permission for that, and I am angry that you did it.

Jim had no business listing my personal information.

PS,

Believe me, I didn’t provide the link lightly. However, the very same day you posted information containing the following:

1. You identified the name of the street where you sold.

2. You identified the sales price.

It seems you have since deleted your post with your former street name and my link was changed by someone other than me.

The faux indignation is very sad. You could have easily let me know that you made a mistake posting your former street name and you would appreciate it if I’d edit my post. That would have been easy. Instead, more melodrama with your involvement.

Poway Seller – June 23rd

“I am nosy, too. I checked the tax assessor site to find out how many late tax filers exist on my street, and I regularly check foreclosure.com for NOD and auctions on Poway homes. When I still had my Realtytrac.com membership, I snooped even more: I looked at the lien history of the NODs (foreclosure.com doesn’t provide it).”

“We should spread this out for everyone to see, so people can learn and not make the same mistakes. This should be used to help other people, not hidden from the world, Please, I beg you, spread the word on these people. Personal stories are so much more powerful than charts or surveys.”

Jim, I like you, and I am not mad about the link provided, because your intentions were kind. You tried to help me. Actually, on the Assessor link, I had been trying to look up the current house we’re in, the place we’re renting. I had not even tried the other one.

The whole thing was obviously a misunderstanding. The important point to me is that you posted that in the spirit of being helpful. I thank you for that, as well as for all the other information you provided to me over the past few months.

Back to the details. If I did post my street name, I went back right away and EDITed my post. I did give the sales price, only because the stories I give about my own experience are easier to tell with the real numbers. Otherwise I’d have to keep saying x and y and 20% less than x and $20K more than y, etc. ,and it would be hard to follow. The reason the link was changed is because I e-mailed Rich and asked him a favor to delete that post, so he didn’t do that and instead changed the link to the Assessor site instead of the specific one with my address.

Hold up here! Be angry with yourself
I NEVER published anything of yours. Please site me what you are talking about?????
On one of your posting just the other day you asked someone if they had looked at your house, and YOU gave the street name. If you would like, I will go back and find it.
You need to be careful about what you put on the WWW

I’m sorry I created so much confusion. I forgot that I did give it to Drew in the post above. I have to eat dirt…

At the same time, I request that other people don’t reference my personal information in their own posts. Thank you.

Give her a break! She has a habit of disclosing too much personal information. She has chosen to give up her anonymity in the past but that doesnt justify others publishing her personal information. Even though I was acused over and over of doing that, I never did and never would do that to someone.

I say give her a pass…

[powayseller]

Thanks sdr, and I will not publish your personal information either.
