ARE YOU GUILTY OF THIS?

People say some of the craziest things.

We're sure you've heard (and perhaps even uttered) one of these phrases listed below.

And before we explore them one by one, consider why the perception of value is so often clear in one case, and yet totally ambiguous in others.

Value Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Opinions of value versus cost will be uttered all the time, perhaps you've heard such things as:

• There’s no way I’m going to pay $8 for a beer
• I can’t justify spending $200 on a pair of shoes
• We won’t be going there for vacation, airline prices are too high
• I’ll get the T-bone, the filet is way too pricey
• I’ll wait to watch the movie when it's at the budget cinema

Most people seem to be pretty sensible on how they spend their money on daily purchases. Nobody likes to spend too much, even when it’s not a financial concern, not overspending is often an issue of pride.

The Value Of The Right Real Estate Professional

So if you’re with us up to this point, let us hit you with the “craziest thing” that we referenced at the beginning of this post … it’s something that is heard by real estate agents across the Country all the time … when talking to somebody looking to buy or sell a home. Here’s what they say:

• I hired my friend, he has a real estate license

Seriously? We’re not talking about an $8 beer or a $200 pair of shoes. We’re not even talking about a $3000 vacation. We’re talking about a decision that is likely going to cost the customer $12,000 for an average home of $200,000.

Why is it that people don’t think ahead before they hire somebody to help them sell a home? Is there a difference between a highly trained and experienced negotiator versus somebody who works in an industry part-time or has not been in business for very long? Is it worth your time to find out?

We cannot stress [strongly enough] the importance of investigating  for the job of selling a home and for the job of helping you buy a home.

There are huge differences in service and capabilities that you can discover, all you need to do is a little research. Perhaps the same amount of research you would do to find the best deal on a family vacation.

So do yourself a favor and save some money when you buy or sell your next home. Talk to multiple agents and find the one that will ensure you get the best deal. If you've been on the Homeowners Concept website for more than a couple of minutes you've probably come to the conclusion that we offer much more highly skilled Realtors than the average agency (most of our Realtors are in the top 200 agents of Greater Milwaukee - out of 3,000+) and charge less commission and no administrative fees. Making an intelligent decision is well within your reach.
