How to Avoid Losing Your Home: 2
Sunday, June 7th, 2009
Do you know where most new home buyers go wrong? They make bad decisions. Do you know where a lot of them tend to start making bad decisions? With their real estate agent.
Too many people tend to hold the inconceivable misconception that every real estate agent ever in existence is the same as every other real estate agent. What is the basis of this belief? The fact that they all have a license to buy and sell real estate. This truly boggles the mind, because those same people also seem to believe that the “similarities” of every real estate agent means they do not have to actually interview for potential agents. They figure, what the heck, they’re all the same! They can just choose one at random! Some people even think that they will offend an agent by asking questions about experience, fees, and things like that nature. Uhm … what?
This often leads them to hiring some too-eager beaver at the cheapest price. Again — what? An agent like that is not going to have your best interests at heart.
Seriously, take the time to interview potential candidates, and ask any question you need to ask. You are going to get a better deal that way — and likely a better home as well.
