10. SELLING:
Don’t spend earnest money!
Many sellers make the mistake of depositing and spending earnest
money before closing day. If the transaction doesn’t go through or
the buyer pulls out due to repair issues, it is up to the seller to return
the cash. It is recommended to have a real estate agent or broker
hold the deposit. Most buyers’ earnest money will be held in an
escrow account until the closing day, allowing the money to remain
untouched by either party.
FUN FACT:
Get the name and numbers.
Just when you think you’ve checked all the boxes for an easy sell of
your house, take a second look at your address. According to Zillow,
street names and house numbers matter! If you happen to live at 666
Fanny Hands Lane, you may be out of luck (however that particular
street is in the United Kingdom, so you should be safe). Innuendo-
laden street names tend to not sell as quickly as something more like
Thunder Road. American numerology says that 666 is bad luck and
could decrease the value of your home by 2-3 percent. Also, steer
clear of the number four, considered unlucky in Chinese culture.
Stick to the number eight, or include the lucky digits 316 in your
asking price!
Before entering the real estate market, educate yourself. The more
you know, the better your chances are for nailing down the home of
your dreams! ■
