Myth 1: You’ll get a check for the amount your home was listed for
This is very rarely the case. In most situations, the realtor will have to reduce the asking price while it sits on the market. During this time, you are paying for the mortgage, the upkeep, and the utilities. Once you finally do receive an offer to sell your home, it is usually lower than you hoped. Combine those factors with the realtor’s commissions, home inspection, repairs and closing cost you are required to pay; you receive substantially less for your house than the actual sales price.
Myth 2: My realtor can guarantee that my house will sell
It is common for houses to stay on the market for up to two years and still not bring in any potential buyers. Only a real estate investor can guarantee that your house will sell since they are the actual buyer.
Myth 3: My realtor will take care of the necessary home repairs
Your realtor may suggest changes that need to be made, and may even suggest a company to make those changes. However, you are the one stuck with monitoring the repairs, as well as the bill.
Myth 4: Realtors will sell your house fast
Realtors only “list” properties, they do not guarantee when, or if, your house will sell. They also charge a commission that will eat away at your profits. The average home takes 6 months to sell. Some houses take over a year, especially in today’s real estate market.

Myth 7: Realtors will protect you from liability
This myth is often pushed by Realtors. The reality is that you gain zero additional protection by simply hiring a Realtor. Most suits arise from undisclosed items by the seller, who is then liable themselves. The best protection is by having a thorough home inspection as to offer honest and full disclosure on any repairs or maintenance the house requires. Or we can simply buy your home as-is, saving you from the money, time and risk that come with home repairs.
