Idk who needs to hear this, but trust your REALTOR®.
Not your cousin.
Not the neighbor.
Not the person who bought 1 house 8 years ago.
Not the person giving advice from the outside with no responsibility if the deal falls apart.
Your REALTOR® is the one contractually obligated to work on your behalf first.
They are the one looking at the contract, deadlines, negotiations, financing, inspections, appraisal, title issues, repair requests, and the bigger picture of how 1 decision can affect the entire transaction.
A good REALTOR® is not just opening doors or putting a sign in the yard.
They are protecting your leverage, your money, your timeline, and your ability to close with the least amount of unnecessary stress possible.
Everybody has an opinion.
Your REALTOR® has a responsibility.
Trust the person who is actually responsible for protecting you.
