There are four real estate myths we often hear in Maine. Be it clickbait headlines or well-meaning family & friends, these myths can cost buyers and sellers money.
1.“You need perfect credit and a large amount of cash to buy."
...this isn’t always the case. Many people are closer to ready than they think!
2. "Buying is always better than renting."
...sometimes, but not always. Our job is to learn your unique situation and guide you to the best decision for you.
3. "Price it high to leave room to negotiate."
...overpricing hurts momentum. Listings receive the strongest attention when they first arrive on the market. Missing that window often results in price reductions.
4. "It’s best to wait for the market to change before you make a move.”
...The best time to move is when it makes sense for you. Job changes, lifestyle shifts, needing more space, and needing less space are all compelling reasons to buy or sell.
Whether you're days, months, or years from a move, we’re always honored and excited to bring clarity and ease to your real estate dreams.
