賣房者六戒 (to Goingplace)

by 夢思德 Goingplace把菜端上來的時候俺家已經開過飯了。不過情還是領的很。本來準備周末SHUTUP的，也隻好破個例了。不過碼中文他慢，您老就將就著看吧，沒準您還巴不得呢。...老規矩：有經驗的朋友給補充補充. 砸玉也行) All these "not do"s concern very important issues that would bring youserious troubles. It seems common sense, but some people just don'tunderstand. 1)一戒賴惰 (SELLER) Sounds funny. There is some truth in it. Some sellers think that aslong as they can reduce the price to the amount the repair wouldrequire, the buyer would take the house. Not true. You spend 2 dollarsfor repair. You get 6, or 10. You have one dollar repair for the sale,seller asks for 3 dollars. I’ll ask for 10! Suggestion: Don’t be lazy.Prepare carefully before you put it to the market. 2) 二戒撒謊 (BUYER DISCLOSURE) Disclose whatever has been documented in the repairs of your houses. Ifyou hide some thing important and then later the buyers have found out,you will be liable to their loss if they can prove that you lied. Ofcourse there are many items that you can mark as "unknown", but if youhave hired some one and you have paid to do something, how could youprove you don't know. 3) 三戒過貪 (BUYER OFFER---) HIghest buyer is not NECESSARILY the best offer. I think most peopleknow that. Here is just another reminder. The same thing is true:overpriced house is the house an investors usually look for! Why? If itis overpriced, it won’t sell. And since every body knows it is overpriced, it will eventually sell at a below market price. Sellers wantto avoid this situation. And that is why you need a GOOD realtor. 4)四戒吝嗇 (REALTOR LISTING，COMMISSION) Commission is one motive for realtors to sell. Lower commission can bea good one to you, it can be a bad one too, depending on your needs andthe market situation. If you really want to sell VERY QUICKLY and youthink you have made enough money, higher commission might be good foryou: REALTORS are human beings, no less greedy than any body among WXC. 5)五戒善良 (REALTOR EXIT CLAUSE) Do look at the realtor's faces when you sign an exclusive listingagreement. There are all smiles. I guarantee. Look at each clause ofthe contract. Read it carefully. Have a look at my Dancing withRealtors (2). Put "EASY EXIT" clause when you can. Don't "you are good,I'm good" at beginning but become enemies later. 6)六戒造假 (GOVERNMENT) Don't try to lower your taxes by changing the number of the contract when some one offers you cashes offer.
