Top 10 Real Estate Myths:
1. Always hire a Realtor who is short because they'll be able to get into spots that a taller one can't in order to inspect your potential new home for problems, e.g. rodents, mold, pests, etc.
2. Since you can get all the information you really need about the real estate transaction from the internet, there's no need to hire an experienced Realtor - better to get a newbie that will do your bidding and come at your beck and call!
3. You always have the right to take exterior, as well as interior, pictures of homes you view.
4. One thing you CAN use a Realtor for is to get their opinion on the ethnic breakdown of a neighborhood, thereby matching it to your unique preferrences.
5. A creative negotiating trick (in Virginia especially) - find a home without Air Conditioning. Lowball your offer and when you get the home, it's an easy matter to install your own A/C system!

6. One of THE best returns on investment, these days, is to install Stainless appliances and Granite countertops in your kitchen.
7. Always try and buy a 3 bed townhome before you sink your money into a 3 br single family home - appreciates quicker and doesn't require all the up-keep & maintenance BY you!
8. Two of the best recommendations for 1st-Time Home Buyers: 1.) Buy a property with an income unit attached and/or
2.) Look into buying a foreclosed property.
9. Area's commercial market has little or no bearing on the residential real estate market and valuation trends.
10. In today's market it is getting to be a better alternative buying a single or double wide mobile home because of low price, quick appreciation (especially if in a mobile park), and ease of financing options.
