I talk people out of houses. Regularly.
I know how that sounds coming from the guy who gets paid when you buy one. But I get paid once. You live there for years. Those aren't the same stakes.
The three I push back on hardest:
🏚️ The foundation that's telling a story nobody wants to hear
💸 The payment that works on paper but I can tell will squeeze you every month
😮💨 The house someone's buying because they're just tired of looking
That last one is the most common and the most expensive. Exhaustion is a terrible reason to sign a 30-year commitment.
There's always another house. If I lose a deal because I told you the truth, that's a deal I'm fine losing.
What's the best advice a professional ever gave you that cost them money? Drop it below. 👇
