I’m here to save you pain,
buyers. There are myths about the home shopping experience that must be
addressed. I like to make the home buying experience as stress-free as
possible, so please hear me out on these three big myths about home buying:
Myth #1: “That
house has been on the market so long I bet we can work the seller down easily.”
Not necessarily. Exceptionally
high days on market could mean almost anything. The seller could be bullheaded
about their price. The seller may not be particularly motivated to sell for
emotional or other personal reasons. Don’t forget: A sales-weary seller isn’t
likely to respond to your host of rational reasons why their house should be a
bargain.
Myth #2: “I
want to look at foreclosed homes because they’re a real bargain and the banks
need to unload them.”
Banks, like entrenched sellers, don’t always make
decisions which seem rational based on obvious information. You can have a hard
time divining the reason a bank chooses to reject an offer for a foreclosed or
distressed property, and their decision may be based on financials which seem
counterintuitive. The truth is, many distressed sales can be longer and more
fraught than regular sales.
Myth #3: “I liked this house a lot, but with this market, I bet it will still
be there if I decide to buy it.”
It’s very, very painful to see
a client love a home but fail to make a move to purchase that home. If you fell
in love with it, why wouldn’t someone else? Just because a property has been on
the market a little while doesn’t mean it will stay on the market. The bonus myth in this one? Your “perfect” home is
probably going to be a home with some small compromises. If you don’t make an
offer on a home, you’re effectively saying, “I’m comfortable losing this home.”
My job as an agent is to represent your interests and do
my best to protect you along the way. If you’re pursuing a home purchase in the
near future, please get in touch. There are many other ways I can lower your
stress and help you find a great home:
