WHY HIRE PROFESSIONALS, WHEN YOU WON'T LISTEN TO THEM????
I am sure that we all have experienced situations similar to what Valerie in her blog below. I know I run into on the Mortgage side of the business fairly often, and it is something that we need hand in a professional way in how we respond.
When it comes to buying and selling property.. even renting property for that matter, there is a lot of stress that comes along with this. Potential clients are very aware of this. Hiring a Realtor that looks out for your best interest, and helps in trying to relieve some of this stress. This is why you have interviewed them and have hired one that you feel is professionial. Realtors take classes, and continuing ed classes to ensure they are up on all current issues. There are even Realtors that focus their career on buyers. They have a designation of ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative).
Home inspectors also need to be licensed. When it comes to making sure the home you wish to purchase has no surprises, and you are aware of what might be needed in repairs or forthcoming issues you hire an inspector that knows their job, and has had the training.
So, why after interviewing Realtors, paying for home inspections, do clients take the word of gospel what their neighbor tells them about this home you wish to purchase? they speak to their bosses, co-workers and family members. Anyone that will listen and give them their advice. For the most part non of these people have ever seen the home you wish to purchase.
If the home inspector mentions that there is a cracked tile in the kitchen and is just pointing that out to you. It doesn't necessarily mean it needs a new floor. But ask them your questions.. this is what they are there for. When you talk to your boss about this and he/she says "walk away from this home, it is going to be money pit, because you will need to jack up the house and put in a new foundation." All of this due to a cracked tile? Where in the world are they bassing their information on? They haven't seen the house or are licensed in this field.
You've hired professionals... ask them your questions. If you have a good Realtor, and home inspector, they are worth their weight in gold.. and will look out for your best interest.
