The Problem With Buying or Selling in Seabrook Without Independent Advice
Whether you are buying in Seabrook or considering selling, the process involves significant financial decisions — often $600,000 to $900,000 or more. Yet most buyers rely entirely on the selling agent, who is legally obligated to act in the vendor’s interest. Most sellers rely on a listing agent’s appraisal, which is sometimes inflated to win the listing. Independent advice changes the equation.
