Real Estate Horror Stories You Don’t Want to Live Through

Not all scary stories involve haunted houses and ghosts in the attic…sometimes, the real horror is what happens before you even move in. Whether you’re buying or selling a home, there are a few common “nightmare” scenarios that can turn a dream property into a stressful experience.

Here are a few to watch out for (and how I help make sure they don’thappen to you):

The Pricing Panic
Listing too high and chasing the market down can leave your home sitting for way too long, only to sell for less in the end. When listing your home, I use local market expertise and current data to price it right from the start.

The Hidden Surprise
This one’s for you, sellers! Skipping a pre-listing inspection can come back to haunt you when buyers uncover issues mid-contract. When we work together to list your home, we’ll discuss if this is an important step for your scenario, and help you get ahead of problems before them pop up later.

The Paperwork Nightmare
Deadlines, disclosures, contingencies, and a lot of legal terminology… there’s plenty that can go wrong in a real estate transaction if the details are missed. Throughout the entire process, I handle the technicalities for you (and explain them to you) so nothing slips through the cracks.

The Emotional Overlook
It’s easy to fall in love with the lake views or the cozy cabin atmosphere, but overlooking practical details like access, utilities, or HOA rules can end in disappointment later. When we’re stopping, I’ll help you balance excitement with reality to make a decision that’s right for you.
