Michael Ackerman, a Seattle real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Bain, talks about an important step when making your decision about a particular home you are interested in purchasing. Do some old fashioned door knocking, and talk to the neighbors about their experiences of living in the neighborhood. No one is going to give you a more candid "look" at what it is really like to live in a specific area than the people who already live there!
