Being in the industry for the past 18 years, I’ve seen so many agents pressure their buyers to make a decision. I’ve seen them walk into a home and tell them all the reasons why the home is the right one for them, or on the flip side, all the reasons why that home won’t be a good option and all the things that they would need to change. I have seen time and time again buyers walk into a home and fall in love with big bright sparkly eyes and then their agent starts to tell them all the things that need to be changed and all the buyer sees is $$$ and ultimately moves on from that home. On the other extreme, I’ve seen buyers walk in to a home that they know isn’t right and the agent starts telling them all that they could do to make it right. Let me be frank for a minute. . . THIS IS YOUR DECISION, YOUR FUTURE HOME. . .it’s not up to your agent. Unless your agent is going to be the one writing your mortgage checks every month and living with you putting food on your table, this is not their decision. My role is to be there to help guide you, answer your questions, provide you insight, and help give you the information that you need to make an educated decision about what will be best for you and your future housing needs.
