When you want to buy a property you should not underestimate some aspects
In this article I present you some situations (but there may be others) that are underestimated by those who want to buy a property.
In the real estate market, the idea has been created that a professional is not needed in buying and selling and that it is not necessary.
If this could once be possible, today it is very important to have a professional by your side who follows you both for the selection of properties and for the negotiation itself.
THERE IS NO HURRY TO SELL, TRUTH OR ELSE?
This is a typical phrase that we real estate agents often hear.
You may have heard it while visiting properties.
Usually it is an owner who has given his property to many agencies, sometimes with different prices.
The owner believes that this “strategy” will allow him to find the best offer in a short time. Months and months later, you will find the same ads for the same property.
This means that the choice did not lead to a quick sale; instead, it received many visits, no or little feedback and is still wondering why it did not sell.
SIGNED PROPOSAL
Another scenario: in order not to miss the “opportunity”, the proposal was signed at the agency without having verified the real state of the property.
The consequences, unfortunately, are often disastrous.
The hopeful buyer finds himself tied to that property, discovering, only after signing, the presence of abuses or non-conformities.
Yes, it’s true, they are the seller’s responsibility. Too bad he doesn’t have the money to do them and so the sale gets bogged down and you are the owner of a property that needs to be regularized or fixed in the best of cases.
VERBAL PROPOSAL OR HANDSHAKE
Undoubtedly, a long time ago, the handshake was the safest way to close deals.
Most people had values and kept their word.
Today, this is no longer the case. Not for everyone, of course, but we must recognize that there is a decline in such values and relying on verbal words in the presence of a negotiation is not the wisest choice.
If you want to buy a property, the safest way is to sign a proposal with a deposit check.
Obviously after having checked the condition of the property and being sure of what you are buying.
CONCLUSIONS
In the negotiation phases, therefore after having seen the property, it is very important to know what to do and how to proceed.
The experience of a professional who speaks with sellers, technicians and who makes his work a mission every day is something that is priceless.
Real estate agents who care about their work and take care of the person and not the check that will be written.
Buying a property is a very important commitment, especially today.
Becoming an owner, there are obligations and annual payments to make that have a significant weight on the budget but only if you are satisfied with what you have purchased, can they transform from a burden to the best investment.
