Ｉｔ’ｓ Ｆｒｉｄａｙ， Ａｕｇｕｓｔ １３ｔｈ — and that means you gotta watch out for a little bad juju in the air, especially if you’re thinking of buying or selling a home.
Don’t worry! I got you. You can laugh in the face of fear by steering clear of these real estate myths and superstitions:
M⃣ Y⃣ T⃣ H⃣ : It is better to price a home on the high side — I can always come down.
ＴＲＵＴＨ: ɪᴛ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ. ᴏᴠᴇʀᴘʀɪᴄɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴏᴍᴇ ᴏꜰᴛᴇɴ ʟᴇᴀᴅꜱ ᴛᴏ ɪᴛ ꜱɪᴛᴛɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴇɪᴠɪɴɢ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇꜱᴛ. If it’s priced competitively from the beginning, the chances of getting optimal traffic from the beginning greatly increase.
M⃣ Y⃣ T⃣ H⃣ : If an online website says it, it must be true.
ＴＲＵＴＨ: ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴏɴʟɪɴᴇ ᴡᴇʙꜱɪᴛᴇ ᴅᴏᴇꜱɴ’ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ ᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴏᴡɴ— much less your neighborhood. And while major real estate sites can give you a general idea of your home’s value, it’s by no means an exact valuation. For that, you need an agent with boots (or heels!) on the ground.
M⃣ Y⃣ T⃣ H⃣ : All agents are the same.
ＴＲＵＴＨ: ʏᴇꜱ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴄᴇꜱꜱ ᴏꜰ ʙᴜʏɪɴɢ ᴏʀ ꜱᴇʟʟɪɴɢ ɪꜱ ꜱɪᴍɪʟᴀʀ, ʙᴜᴛ ɴᴏ ᴛᴡᴏ ᴀɢᴇɴᴛꜱ ᴀʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴀᴍᴇ, nor is their approach to real estate. It’s a good idea to interview several agents and get multiple referrals before hiring an agent. You want an agent who gets YOU!
Stay alert today, friends—and even if it is Friday, the 13th—it’s still a Friday nonetheless! Have a great weekend.
