Things Property Sellers Should Always Be Honest About

Things are always changing in the world of real estate, but there is one rule that is constant and will remain so. Always be honest!

There are Realtors and sellers who might use dishonesty to sell property and cut a deal that profits only them, but it always comes back to haunt them. They can never build credibility or reputation needed for growth of their business. Sellers end up with lawsuits that cost them way more than sheer honesty would have. So, staying honest is the first rule of real estate. At CollegeStationRealEstate.com, we always make it a point to stick to that rule, but we have seen that sellers, desperate to sell their property, often try to hide information they think can cost them some money.

Here are a few things they commonly lie about but never should.

Your Reason for Selling Property – No matter how bad your reason sounds to you, it is always better than the fabricated one.  Truth is powerful and you can always back it up with the right facts. So, whether you are getting superstitious about the property or you start to hate the noisy neighborhood, be clear.

Your Neighborhood Experience – Not every neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and not everyone is looking for it. Never lie about how you absolutely love it if you don’t. Make sure the people buying your home know the experience they are about to have. They might actually be looking for it!

The Offers You Have – It is not uncommon for sellers to lie about the offer they already have from any other buyer. Not only is it unethical, it may cause you to lose the actual one as well. People are looking for property within their budget. Instead of buying yours, they might go on and look for one that fits their pocket.
