When I read the headline I thought, YIKES ! Is he really advocating that agents provide this info to their sellers? But you handled it well and it is a very useful post. Thank you.

If it is asked as a factual based question, such as "What are the demograpics of this neighborhood?" that's easy... I have a great book of "Complete Metro-Phoenix Area Info" I can give them that details and highlights each part of the Valley. As mentioned earlier, "steering" is illegal and my personal "opinion" really means nothing anyway, because every person is different. I understand completely why the question, and the need for some guidance, and in fact if I were the Buyer, I would want to ask the same questions. My response? I encourage buyers to talk to friends, family, business associates, co-workers and anyone that they feel comfortable with. To ask their opinions about different areas of the Valley. Interesting to note that when people first move to the Valley, they tend to stay in that same general area throughout their lives here. So it's a big decision if you don't know much about our huge Valley. Definitely take some time and do your homework. Drive around the areas you think you'd like. Go back at different times of the day and week, and visit some local establishments. See what feels comfortable to you, then narrow down your search to those areas.
