My daughter started Kindergarten! WOW! My first kid in school and it is amazing how proud one can be! I look forward to hearing how her day goes each day and she is such a superstar! As a parent you really want your kids to be in the best school district for them. It was a little more difficult to understand why some of my clients were so persistent about being in the boundaries of one school compared to the next and as a parent of little ones I just figured that they were kids and teachers are teachers and they would all be OK. Well... Let me tell you! JK My daughters teacher is a class mate of mine and really she is amazing. It takes a special person to be on the ball all the time with 5 year olds! Anyway, her teacher was highly spoke of and we see why. I won't judge anyone on why they want one school over another anymore!
With this topic. I can do a little public education. As a REALTOR we can not give specific information on any schools or neighborhoods. This is very tough for us because some buyers think we aren't being honest if we tell them that they can call the school district or they can drive through a neighborhood but we can't share the information ourselves. It is a law and we could be fined or loose our license because the Real Estate Commission could rule it as steering. Steering is guiding a buyer to a certain location or school district based off opinion. So next time a REALTOR tells you they can't answer a question about a school or neighborhood, believe them and don't take it personal. Well check back for the next tid bit ;)
