Choosing A RealtorWritten by Nicole Soltau
Continued from page 1
After determining whether a realtor is a buyer or a seller agent, your next step will be to check out realtor’s background. Obviously, all realtors are governed by regulations of their state and must meet certain licensing requirements but you will need to check on information above and beyond this. Look for someone who specializes in type of property that interests you. If you are looking for commercial property, why work with a realtor who has no experience in commercial property? You may also consider working only with a realtor who has experience in specific neighborhood or community that interests you. How much experience should ideal realtor possess? Well, it depends. Relatively new realtors are often hard hitting and will put in quite a bit of time and effort in order to make a sale. The downside to a new realtor is that they simply may not have experience and knowledge necessary to find right property for you. On other hand, more experienced realtors are often quite busy and may not have time to devote to all your needs. Finally, look for a realtor that has good communication skills. It can be difficult to find right property if you feel you cannot even communicate to your realtor features you really need or want in a property. And above all; look for a realtor who has a trustworthy reputation. Integrity says far more about any professional than any other trait-even experience.

Continued from page 1 open-minded despite having made many judgement errors that conventional thinking and funding process have contributed to in a big way. We are constantly finding facts and opinions of what academia calls mavericks are able to enlighten past in all disciplines of anthropology and archaeology. Gimbutas and Campbell have followed a long line of independent thought from Humboldt and Hawkes through Petrie and Marshack. In end they have brought mythology to foreground through use of techniques like space photos and now we have solid state chemistry and genetics to blaze new trails. There is still a lot of small-minded provincial 'pissing-contests' between differing disciplines but there are a lot of exciting things being achieved. The cases of researchers spending up to twenty years working and living with natives, who tell them what they want to hear because they are gracious and kind, are numerous. (6) The value systems of our researchers who want to position themselves and Euro-Centric financial backers as more civilized are rife in annals of what some say is far from a science. When a native group being held under academic scrutiny and subject to logical linear mindsets actually is able to educate 'experts' about their culture it is exception. Often such things are not funded because data doesn't 'fit' prevailing literature. Carlos Castaneda was an anthropologist from UCLA who made a major breakthrough on his own. Even his debunkers have to admit he has brought a great deal of insight to field as a whole. Dr. Wayne Dyer owes a great deal of thought involved in his You'll See it, When You Believe It! to work of Carlos Castaneda and his Toltec mentor Don Juan. It is possible that all of our research into human behavior has more to learn than we think we already know. That might mean we are wrong about many key things. One of most obvious things that our cultural bias foists upon data is relative importance we place on intellect rather than spirit.
