Congratulations to columnist Brandon Szuminsky, who accomplished something in his well written column, "Writer has moving experience," (HeraldStandard.com, May 4) that probaby made history.
The column detailed his move from one home to another, and all the accompanying frustrations. But what caught our eye was this line:
Thankfully, we had the best real estate agents in the business on our side (Bill and Betsy West of Northwood -- seriously, call them), and they were able to find us a moving company on short, short, short notice to get our furniture moved.
We had no idea that "the best real estate agents in the business" were those who moved Szuminsky. But we will make sure to take his advice and "call them" if we ever need such services.
But we are wondering how all the other real estate agents feel about this ringing endorsement. Especially the ones that advertise with HeraldStandard.com. Especially the ones that may just think, crazy as it seems, that they just might be "the best real estate agents in the business."
Other than one man's assessment based on one move, we really have no empirical evidence that these particular realtors are better than any others, let alone that they are the best at what they do.
Szuminsky accomplished the impossible, getting a big plug in for a private business.
Because of this we can't wait to read the editorial page. Maybe next, we will find out who the best car dealer is, or the best furnace repairman, or the best place to eat out.
Unless someone higher up the food chain decides that this isn't good for business.
