As a real estate professional with JohnHart, there are moments in the industry that make us say, “I hate when that happens.” While real estate is rewarding, certain challenges can arise that disrupt even the best-laid plans. Here are a few scenarios we’d all rather avoid.

One common frustration is last-minute financing issues. Imagine a buyer’s mortgage falling through days before closing. Everyone involved—buyers, sellers, agents—feels the impact, and what seemed like a done deal suddenly requires quick problem-solving.

Another “I hate when that happens” moment? Home inspection surprises. A seemingly perfect home can reveal hidden issues, like a leaking roof or faulty foundation. These discoveries can stall or derail a transaction, leaving buyers and sellers scrambling.

Let’s not forget appraisal discrepancies. When a property appraises for less than the agreed-upon price, buyers might struggle to cover the difference, and sellers may face tough decisions about lowering their price.

While these situations can be frustrating, they allow skilled agents to shine. At JohnHart, we navigate these hurdles with expertise and care, ensuring clients feel supported through every twist and turn.

The real estate journey isn’t always smooth, but having a dedicated professional can make all the difference. Together, we’ll turn “I hate when that happens” moments into “I’m glad we got through that” success stories. The right agent matters!
