Jan. 9, 2012 - Great Real Estate Advice

I just got this great real estate advice in an email from a mortgage broker I like.

“The other day a friend of mine told me he was going to cancel the sale of his home because at the last minute the buyers said they wanted him to leave the dryer. I asked him if the dryer had been handed down as an heirloom or if it was gold plated. He said it was just the principle of the thing, "We already had a deal, they should have negotiated that in the beginning."  

Don't sweat the small stuff! I know it's hard to do, but always keep in mind that when you sell a home it's a business transaction. That's it, nothing more, nothing less! 

As you are buying a home, keep in mind that for each $1,000 you negotiate, it's about $6 per month in payments. I have heard of many deals falling apart over what would equate to about $12 per month. I'm not saying don't worry about your money, I'm just saying don't sweat the small stuff!”

Great advice!
