\u201cEdward Roscoe Murrow\u00a0(born\u00a0Egbert Roscoe Murrow;\u00a0April 25, 1908 \u2013 April 27, 1965) was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained prominence during World War II\u00a0with a series of live radio broadcasts from Europe for the news division\u00a0of CBS.\u00a0During the war, he recruited and worked closely with a team of war correspondents who came to be known as the Murrow Boys.<\/p>\n
A pioneer of radio and television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his television program \u201cSee It Now,\u201d which helped lead to the censure\u00a0of Senator Joseph McCarthy.\u00a0Fellow journalists Eric Sevareid, Ed Bliss, Bill Downs, Dan Rather, and Alexander Kenrick\u00a0consider Murrow one of journalism\u2019s greatest figures, noting his honesty and integrity in delivering the news.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edward R. Murrow is a reminder of the good old days when truthful and honest reporting was considered a sacred cornerstone of journalism.\u00a0 \ufe0f<\/p>\n
What about you?<\/p>\n
Are you a source of truthful and honest reporting, like Edward R. Murrow?<\/p>\n
If not, you should be. When people learn to rely on you, word gets around. Perhaps this is more important today than ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cCall (this agent) if you want to get the straight truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though I haven\u2019t been an active agent for some time, I still get calls from past clients and referrals from past clients, asking for advice on what they should do amid a global pandemic. You want to know what I tell them?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a buyer, don\u2019t be. Wait. There will be the right time to enter the market, but it\u2019s not now. If you need a place to live, rent, and wait it out. It\u2019s going to be a while.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a seller, get your listing priced to sell ASAP. You own a rapidly depreciating asset, and the faster you sell it, the more you\u2019re going to get. Six months from now, you\u2019re going to look back and be thankful you got what you did.<\/p>\n
Note: The above is accurate for my local market. I don\u2019t pretend to understand your market.<\/p>\n
The point is, I always tell the truth, and that\u2019s what people have come to expect from me. That\u2019s why they still call me and still recommend me.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to agree with me, by the way. That\u2019s not the point. The point is to tell the absolute truth. Honesty always pays off in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
