Common Objections to Buying & Selling

1. I’m going to wait. The market is too bad and will only get worse.


Wait for what?! Interest rates are low, home prices are realistic; there are buyers buying and sellers selling. If you wait to buy, a 1% increase in interest rates results in $10,000 worth of buying power!

2. I don’t think I can sell in this market.
No matter what the market conditions are, there is always an opportunity to sell. Now more than ever is a great time to buy because of low interest rates and realistic home prices which means there are A LOT of buyers out there. What this means for us is that there is someone out there looking for a home just like yours! As long as we are competitive, your home will sell.

3. I can’t buy now, there is too much uncertainty.

Sure the economy may seem scary right now, and the uncertainty of what will happen next can keep you awake at night. But rest-assured there is hope!

4. I don’t have the money to make a move.

There is opportunity at every corner, it just takes the right professional to guide you through the clutter and provide you with the facts that best pertain to you and your personal situation.

5. I don’t think my house is worth anything

Let’s put hard facts to that assumption. I will provide you with a current market analysis showing you EXACTLY what your home is worth in today’s market. I will also provide you with a seller’s net sheet so you can see what you will net from the sale. If the numbers work for you, then you can sell! If not, at least you have peace of mind knowing exactly where you stand in the market.

6. I just want to rent for a couple months so I can save some money.

Renting will actually cost you more money in the long run then you think. In order to rent a property the following things must occur: a credit check and, pay security deposit + 1st month’s rent. In order to buy, we will check your credit to make sure you qualify, and then run numbers to see what you qualify for. Most likely, the closing fees and/or down payment will be similar to paying a security deposit and your first month’s rent. Aside from that, there are many programs available to reduce your costs, AND the tax benefits of home ownership provide you with savings at tax time too! I will provide you with your options so you can make the best decision based on facts not misconceptions.
