Over the past few weeks, I’ve been debunking some common real estate myths in my video blog. Today I’ll go over the last three to finish the series.
Don’t believe these last three real estate myths:
- Spring time is the best time to sell. It’s true that there are more buyers during the spring. However, there are also more sellers in the spring, which means listing during the fall or winter actually gives you less competition. Waiting until spring might mean having to accept a lower offer or let your property sit on the market while buyers shop around.
- A cash offer is always best. If there is a tie between an all-cash offer and a financing offer, it’s true that the cash offer will win. However, sellers don’t always care if you have an all cash offer. Yes, it’s nice to not have a financing contingency, but they’re not going to sell their home for less money just because it’s an all-cash offer.

Sellers won’t sell for less just because
you have a cash offer.

you have a cash offer.
- I can sell my house without a real estate agent. You can figure out how to put your home on Zillow or stick a sign in your yard, but when you hire an agent, especially one from the Downing team, we broadcast your property to more than 500 websites and make it a priority to get as many buyers as possible into your home. We also make sure those buyers are pre-qualified, meaning everyone we bring to look at your house is qualified to purchase it. With so many factors to take into account such as the legal process, negotiating process, hiring a home inspector, pricing your home properly for the market, and making sure it gets sold for the best possible price, you really do need a professional by your side.
