In my work, I often meet with the stubborn desire of people to defend their point of view, even when it comes to their detriment, both emotionally and materially.
Such cases are not uncommon when choosing a purchase object.
I will consider 2 purchase options and present to your judgment some, as it seems to me, errors encountered by consumers.
Purchase for yourself. Choosing a property for your own residence, a competent broker explains that the area of residence is essential. However, the consumer comes into conflict, proving that he can live anywhere, he is very communicative and sociable. Mistake! The consumer has not lived in the country of Turkey before, has not lived in the city of Antalya and uses only subjective opinions from the Internet. He himself visualized and refuted, at times, worthy reviews about the regions. A professional broker cannot enter into a principled dispute, therefore, he tries to correctly describe what and how in each area, but the vague opinion (I decided to use such a term) of the buyer has already decided everything for himself and does not criticize his own conclusions, and, therefore, completely ( from the word at all) does not listen to advice. What do we end up with? Disappointed with the purchase. Why? The neighbors did not accept your good nature and sociability, they did not need it, it is far from the sea, there is little greenery, some tires are burning on the street, and there is no trace of monolingual fellow citizens. Exit? Selling, often at a loss for the consumer.
I continue to insist that there is no need to buy real estate for yourself on-line. This purchase is only suitable for investment. Our brain is always happy to be deceived and there is scientific evidence for this. As the famous I. Goethe used to say, "If you knew how rarely we are understood correctly, you would often be silent." Therefore, the description of the object, although a professional realtor, can paint in our imagination a picture that in reality will differ from reality. Consequences - loss of advance payment. However, if in the contract you specify a 100% refund of the advance made, then you will avoid the loss.
Market analysis via the Internet. Almost a mistake, but not quite. Many agencies sin with fakes. Those. let a tasty duck (offer for sale), which lures a potential buyer, and then, you are told that they will be happy to offer something else and the dialogue went on. If I myself hadn’t come across such a thing myself, I wouldn’t have written. So, you do not even call this ad, estimate prices, do an analysis, but you didn’t allow the thought that this could be a deception that would greatly affect your market analysis.
Purchase for investment. Only a trusted broker, with whom you have already worked and were satisfied, the promised growth in profitability, deduct at least 5% for force majeure. Check with the broker how many times during the construction period in his other projects the developer raised the price and at what stage of raising the price you are now. This will make it easier to understand the real price increase on key acceptance. Find out how many construction projects are going in parallel in this area, with whom you will have to compete in the sale. What are the secondary housing nearby (age, technical condition, prices). Don't worry yourself, confuse the broker. A trusted broker!
