Buyers Misconceptions

I Don’t Need to Work Exclusively with an Agent

By working with many agents, you will receive duplicates of the information, wasting your time, energy, and raising your frustration level. If you work with an agent exclusively, he/she can invest more time in you and raise the service level the client receive, reduces the risk in the transaction. In the end, this can easily mean the difference between securing the right home for you over the other buyers who want it.

If I Look Long Enough, I’ll Find the Perfect Home

There is no perfect home, that if you can get 80 percent of what you want in a home, you have done well. There are always things people change to make the house they bought a home.

I Will Never Write a Full-Price Offer

At times, based on the inventory and frenzy of the marketplace, you might have to offer more than the asking price to secure the property. Well-priced home might sell at best between 2 and 3 percent of the asking price.

We Can Always Start Low and Come Up Later

Sellers can be very emotional about their homes. They can easily be insulted by a low offer and become defensive and illogical. They often counteroffer at a higher price than they really want just because the initial offer was insulting.

A Good Property Will Wait for Me to Act

Good properties sell fast…great properties sell overnight. In any marketplace, the best priced inventory will be gone in matter of days or a few weeks. If you sleep on it…you may not sleep in it. How will you feel if you lose it?

I Will Get a Better Deal if I Work directly with Listing Agent

Seller have already committed to a fixed fee. So the listing agent will make double commission but there is not saving for you. How often you can receive professional representation without the cost of it coming out of your pocket?
