Join us as we break down the misconceptions surrounding this
advice and explore the nuances and why following it blindly can
lead to unexpected challenges in your home-buying journey. While
it might sound like a prudent approach to negotiation, our
experts will shed light on how transparency with the agent can
actually work in your favour.

not be the golden rule you thought it was and how to navigate
this crucial aspect of your home-buying journey.
