Myth 1: I will get a check for the amount of the list or asking price. This is very rarely the case. In most situations, the realtor will have to reduce the asking price of your house while it is on the market. During this time, you are paying for the mortgage, the upkeep, and the utilities. Once you finally do receive an offer to sell your home, it is usually lower than you hoped. Combine those factors with the realtor’s commissions, inspection repairs and lender fees you are required to pay, you receive substantially less for your property than the actual sales price.
Myth 2: My realtor can guarantee that my house will sell. It is common for houses to stay on the market for up to two years or more, and still not bring in any potential buyers. Only a real estate investor can guarantee that your house will sell since they are the actual buyer. Be sure to read “101 Benefits to Selling Your Property to an Investor”
