Attorney-Broker: Honest 'I'll Find Out' Beats a Guess in Real Estate

Jerry Larkowski, Managing Broker at ESQ. Realty Group, shares how an honest 'let me find out' beats a guess in real estate, protecting buyers and sellers.

This news matters because it challenges a common assumption in real estate: that agents must always have an answer. In high-stakes transactions involving contracts, title issues, and legal obligations, a wrong guess can lead to financial loss, missed deadlines, or legal disputes. By advocating for transparency and follow-through, Larkowski offers a simple but powerful framework for consumers to evaluate agents. In an era where information is abundant but often unverified, the willingness to admit uncertainty and then do the work to find the right answer is a mark of true professionalism. This approach not only protects clients but also builds lasting trust—a currency that is invaluable in any service industry.
