9 Real Estate Myths for the Home Buyer or Home Seller – Day 9
Myth #9: Your agent ALWAYS has your best interest in mind.
As a real estate agent I would love to say YES to this 110% but like all things there are a few agents out there that don’t go by a code of ethics and will try to do some shady things. Always, ask questions and if your agent can’t help you or is not being cooperative, by all means, call their designated broker. You should always feel comfortable with your agent. YOU are the BOSS!! If you don’t like the fit between you and your agent fire them and find someone that YOU work well with.

Myth #8: If I hold an Open House my home will sell faster
That really isn’t the case. Most people these days find their homes on the internet. Open houses are a great way for agents to get more clients and maybe get some foot traffic through the door but very rarely does a buyer find the home they are looking for by just popping into an open house.

Myth #7: All properties on the market show up on the MLS.
In most cases, yes, but it never hurts to just double check with your listing agent and read through the paperwork carefully to make sure that they are going to be marketing your home on the NWMLS. For Sale By Owners, for the most part, DO NOT show up on the MLS.
Title Talk: Are There Problems That Can be Missed?
Title Talk: Are There Problems That Can be Missed? Yes. There are are some “hidden hazards” that even the most diligent title search may never reveal. For instance, the previous owner could have incorrectly stated is marital status, resulting in a possible claim by his legal spouse. Other “hidden hazards” include fraud, forgery, defective deeds,… Continue Reading

Myth #6: I will recoup all the money I spent on my house
Probably not! Will you sell your home quicker if you fix items that are in need of repair? Yes, but don’t expect to get all that money that you put into your home back out of it. Again, think before you go and do any big purchasing or remodeling for your home when it is on the market.

9 Real Estate Myths for the Home Buyer or Home Seller – Day 5
Myth #5: If I remodel the kitchen/bathroom my house will sell faster
Yes, if you have a big repair by all means fix it. If you are just thinking that you don’t like the fixtures or the backsplash anymore then take a minute, step back and ask yourself: Will I really get that much more money for my home by changing these things out? Is it going to be worth the trouble? You have to remember also that not everyone is going to share your personal taste. If you go in and do a remodel and it is not to the new buyers liking then they are faced with well do we remodel again or just live with it. You might instead of remodeling think about pricing the home a little lower or allotting some money for upgrades.

Myth #4: The market is going to keep going up
That my friend is not the case. The real estate market goes in waves, sometimes it is up and sometimes it is down. Sometimes it is a seller’s market and Buyers’ are tripping over each other and you have multiple offers. Sometimes it is a Buyer’s market and it works opposite. There are so many homes on the market that the Buyer’s rule the roost. The market changes every day. Don’t get caught up in the thought that the prices are going to keep going up, up and up.
