After almost 30 years in this business, nothing should surprise me…but…

When they added a disclosure about Errant Golf Balls, I didn’t believe it at first. Another agent in our office mentioned it at a staff meeting and I thought they were kidding. No…it’s true. Among the dozens of disclosures in the 10 page Statewide Buyer and Seller Advisory, …yes…you will find a paragraph advising the buyer they may be hit by flying golf balls if they buy a house near a golf course!

 Really? No kidding. You may get wet if you buy a home with sky above. You may may receive junk mail if you buy a home with a mailbox. Give me a break! This is ridiculous. When did we leave the world of reasonable personal responsibility and common sense? Do we really need to be told about the hazard of being hit by a golf ball?  Maybe I’m missing something here.

Next time you go to the supermarket, you may receive a disclosure telling you about the hazards of being exposed to fattening foods that may be difficult to resist purchasing!
