Oklahoma Real Estate Myths

| Here are some common
misconceptions about selling real estate and what you should be aware of
if you are considering selling your home: The first offer is always the best. This often can be true, but there are many exceptions. In hot real estate markets, you may quickly attract multiple buyers, so it's wise to carefully consider all offers. And some buyers often "test" sellers with a deliberately low bid; rather than being insulted by a low bid, it's wise to consider the offer as a starting point for negotiation. Lower commissions mean
sellers come away with higher proceeds from the sale. This may not
always be the case. With discounted commissions, be sure you know what
you're going to get. Cutbacks in advertising and marketing for a lower
sales fee, could mean you don't get the best price for your property.
Be clear about all services before you sign a listing contract. |
