If you ask most people about their experiences with buying a home or purchasing other real estate, you’d probably find that there are more horror stories than good experiences floating around. Most of the time, that can be attributed to the realty company or real estate agent that you deal with.
For example, I remember when my friend Susan was in the process of relocating from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, GA. Long-distance moves like that are difficult to pull off anyway, but SUsan’s was made even more complicated by the fact that her real estate agent didn’t listen to a thing she said regarding her wants and needs. The agent was more worried about his commission than anything else, so he kept trying to sell Susan homes that were way out of her price range. As a result, her relocation took six weeks longer than anticipated!
Perhaps if Susan had read some Atlanta real estate articles before attempting her move, she would have had a more positive experience. She would have had a better feel for what was going on in the area and she could have ditched that other agent for someone more in tune with customers.
At least the story turned out well. She did find a nice house in the end and has been living in Atlanta for more than six years now.
