Whether you are purchasing a home or selling a home you always have many questions and throughout the real estate process you may often wonder if you are being too safe or too risky and if the decisions you are making are the right ones.

According to a recent article in the Staten Island Advance titled “Walking Real Estate Tightropes” The article explains the similarities between an documentary about a man who in 1974 walked between the twin towers on a tightrope and the current real estate situations and decision a person must make when buying or selling a home.

Often times questions may arise throughout your real estate process that require you to take the safe approach or the “risky” approach but sometimes the safe approach may not always be the correct choice.

For some the answer to certain real estate questions may not have an actual correct or incorrect answer but may just depend solely on the opinion and risk level that a person is willing to take while other times there may be a correct answer but you may not know what it is.  The article explains that in these type of situations where there is a correct answer out there it makes sense to not just move forward with a decision based on your own opinion but rather to seek advice from a real estate expert to help find out the correct decision you should be making.

Speaking with a real estate expert such as a real estate attorney will help clarify a lot of questions that are lingering over your head regarding the real estate process.  It is good to educate yourself by speaking to other homeowners who have been through similar situations, by speaking with a real estate lawyer and by reading real estate books.  If you would like more information regarding purchasing or selling a house in Staten Island or Brooklyn New York call Steven Decker Staten Island real estate lawyer at 800.976.4904 or email us by filling out our contact form.
