 🔍 Buyer Beware: 10 Real Estate Myths Busted

What every buyer in Jerusalem needs to know (but no one tells you).

💥Myth #7: You have to outbid everyone to get the deal.

Reality: Many sellers care more about timing than price. Think: aliyah deadlines, divorce, estate sales. If you’re ready to move fast, you might score the deal without being the top offer.

Your advantage:
✔️Have your financing ready
✔️Be flexible with timing
✔️Work with a local agent who knows which sellers are motivated
