757 | The Question You Don’t Ask Could Cost You

What real estate question are you afraid to ask because you think you should already know the answer? The few seconds it takes to ask may save you from an expensive mistake—or years of regret. In Episode 757 of LIFE’S Inside Track, Ken and Yetta explain why intelligent, financially responsible people sometimes stay silent during major buying, selling and investing decisions. Yetta shares how entering school in Canada without speaking English created a fear of looking foolish. Ken shares the opposite challenge: confidence that sometimes kept him from asking questions he knew better than to overlook.. They explore the questions buyers and sellers often hesitate to ask: • Can I truly afford this—or do I merely qualify for it? • Am I overpaying? • Am I listing too high or leaving money on the table? • Should I buy before I sell—or sell before I buy? • What if I regret this decision later? • What do I not know enough to ask? • Who is the right professional to answer this question? The wisest professionals do not pretend to know everything. They help you ask better questions, recognize blind spots and connect with the right inspector, lawyer, mortgage professional, accountant, financial planner or other qualified advisor when needed. Wisdom is not having every answer. It is becoming curious enough to gain clarity before experience becomes the teacher.
