Navigating the house buying task can be both frustrating and daunting if you aren’t experienced with these kinds of strict negotiations.
I made the mistake of hiring a poorly rated real estate agent without doing any reviewing on my part to make sure he was legitimate.
This was a strenuous studying situation because he didn’t have my best interests in mind. I should have realized that he would like to spend money more for a property because that would mean he would get more cash for his task as well. She refused to negotiate for a better price on the home I purchased at the moment and I realized a year later that I had paid at least $30k more than it was worth. On top of that, the agent had myself and others use his special house inspector and he missed a big number of things in his allegedly thorough inspection of the property’s interior. When I was finally ready to buy a house a few years later, I decided to do the negotiations on prices myself. I realized that the house I wanted had an Heating and Air Conditioning plan in it that was over 30 years seasoned and I used that to my advantage. If an Heating and Air Conditioning plan is past the 30 year mark, that essentially means the device has expired and the cost of a new item will have to be factored into the price if the property is listed for sale. I managed to get the home for $10k less because its a/c entirely needed to be replaced right away. This is a paramount thing to remember whenever negotiating a house sale.
