\u00a0 \u00a0Yep, I would guess their error rate in the Hamptons is a heck of a lot more than a 8%. \u00a0 It&#8217;s a big miss in the Hamptons&#8230; like an Ishtar big miss! \u00a0A &#8220;Missestimate&#8221; if you will. \u00a0 \u00a0 So the take away from all of this&#8230; talk to an agent or do your homework (Zillow.com is a great source for closed prices) and don&#8217;t try let some silicon valley geek tell you what your home is worth. \u00a0 Besides, \u00a0how could you put a price on that &#8220;Sistine Chapel&#8221; painting on your master bedroom ceiling?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something Brewing.. time to change the label!
