Common mistakes when choosing a broker
Many people choose a broker based on commission alone. While cost matters, the most important factor is your net result — the price you actually receive minus all costs. A skilled broker often achieves a higher sale price that more than compensates for a slightly higher fee.
Also avoid choosing based on the highest estimated price. Some brokers inflate valuations to win the listing. A trustworthy broker gives you a realistic, data-backed assessment from the start.
