Long Island Home Buyers Top 5 Myths

By
Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803
Home Buyers, you may have high expectations when purchasing a North Shore Long Island Home, but remember it is still a
business transaction.
 
Here Are Our Top 5 Myths For Home Buyers
 
1. The listing information is always correct ~ Wrong. When it comes to listings, don't always take the information on the home as being on-target. Sometimes, listing agents don't bother to check out the facts they receive from the sellers and the wrong data is posted. Always verify!
 
2. We will find the PERFECT house ~ Not always. Buyers may try to focus on something that's wrong with a house rather than all of it's good points. Don't expect to get everything on your wish list. Zero in on the items that are the most important to you.
 
3. If we have several agents looking for homes on our behalf, we'll find a house quicker. Wrong again. By working exclusively with one agent you will improve the momentum and the end results. Working with your Buyers Agent thrives on communication, loyalty and trust!
 
4. When a house remains on the market longer, the more you can negotiate a better deal.  Buyers always ask us, "How long has this home been on the market?" They may think the longer its been on the market the more they can negotiate the price down. Wrong ~ It often means the seller is determined to hold onto their price and are not realistic.
 
5. If the offer is accepted right away, it was too much to offer."  No ~  It's probably buyers remorse kicking in. There's no point in second-guessing what the bottom line is. Go with your goal and everyone will be a winner.

I find it funny how some people think things are going to be so easy, those are usually the ones that struggle the most with finding their "perfect" home, haha.

Sheila and Larry, buyers need to read your post and know that you are spot on with what's a myth. Finding the perfect house is one that comes up a lot and even a custom home isn't perfect. This post deserves a gold star!
