Buying or Selling with Family or Friends? Kevin Clark’s Advice in Better Homes & Gardens Magazine
We are proud to share that our Broker, Kevin Clark, was recently interviewed by Better Homes & Gardens® Magazine in their Ask an Agent series!
In the feature, Kevin tackled a question many buyers and sellers wonder about: What are the risks of buying or selling a home to someone you know?
Kevin emphasized how important it is to maintain both fairness and peace of mind in these situations:
“Having an agent helps keep emotions in check and ensures everyone is treated fairly throughout the transaction.” – Kevin Clark, Broker
His perspective underscores why working with an experienced, trusted professional can make such a difference—especially when relationships are involved.
Key Takeaways from Kevin's Advice
If you’re considering buying or selling with a friend or family member, here are a few smart steps Kevin recommends:
-
Set clear expectations early. Protect your relationship by discussing roles, timelines, and finances upfront.
-
Rely on a neutral professional. Having an experienced agent keeps emotions in check and ensures both sides feel supported.
-
Put everything in writing. Agreements, offers, and expectations should always be documented to avoid misunderstandings later.
