Happy Spring Day to everyone! May flowers shall come because of our April showers 🙂 It may sound odd, but I truly LOVE rainy days~they are so calming to me.
Would you go into court unrepresented?
This morning I was reading an article on For Sale By Owners (FSBOs) and realized that I would not invest my money in the stock market without the help from a professional broker. I would trust the broker because he has more knowledge than I do in that industry and therefore will be a better predictor for where my money will become most profiting. This goes for many things; hair (I tried cutting my hair to save $=bad idea), diagnoses, law enforcement, etc. Right after I graduated from the University of Utah in 08′ I wanted to do it all myself; call it ambition I presume. I quickly realized not only was this terribly wearing, but also very unproductive. My mom pointed out that I needed to focus in on what I am good at and let others do the same; “this is what makes the world go round”. In the world of real estate, this is as simple as letting professionals handle any needed air conditioning repair so they will do a much better job than you could attempting a diy fix, for example.
Buying and selling real estate make look simple and easy from the outside, but TRUST ME there is so much that goes into it. I am currently buying/building a home and even so I am learning that I do not know all that entails in this industry even after being a professional Realtor for over 4 years. So many factors go into the sale of a home that many people do not realize. Some think they can represent themselves (so silly when they are actually throwing away money by doing this) and in the end these so called unrepresented buyers literally bite off their own arm do to on average paying more for the home, less repairs to be made, closing costs out of pocket.
So in conclusion from my starting question, I hope everyone can make the connection that being unrepresented is truly not the best route for anyone. Let professionals serve and protect you!
Have a great day!
