Yup, 17 real estate secrets revealed", then to make it sound facinating, they script the text below to say: "Find out what the industry insiders don't want you to know. Like the fact that you can probably sell your home without hiring an agent."
I had to read all 17 pages and here are the results of their "real esate insider burns".
Real-estate agent: "My fees are negotiable."
Real-estate agent: "You can probably do this without me."
Real-estate agent: "I know zilch about zoning."
Home inspector: "Your idea of a home inspection isn't necessarily the same as mine."
Home inspector: "I'm not climbing up on your roof."
Home inspector: "I've been known to cause more damage than I find."
Homebuilder: “I’ll build your house on marshmallow.”
Homebuilder: “I won’t just cut corners — I’ll sever them.”
Homebuilder: “Your warranty may be worthless.”
Contractor: “My license is laughable.”
Contractor: “I’ll be back when I feel like it.”
Contractor: “If it looks good, I don’t care if it’s done right.”
Landscaper: “My sprays are real killers, all right.”
Landscaper: “Don’t expect a refund if your garden croaks.”
Landscaper: “What I’m doing won’t necessarily make your home more valuable.”
Architect: “You may not need me at all.”
Architect: “My drawings aren’t really builder-ready.”
Well, it was a fun read while it lasted... It's funny how the media can draw you in. But, buyers and sellers should be aware and check references, check with local ordinances, etc...
