Major Mistake When Selling a House or Business
- Major Mistake When Selling a House or Business Steve Campbell & Travis Maus 29:09
In this episode of Ditch the Suits, Steve Campbell and Travis Maus discuss the mistakes people make when selling a house or a business.
They highlight the concept of anchoring bias, where individuals become fixated on a specific number and are unwilling to consider other options.
They provide examples of how this bias can lead to financial losses and missed opportunities. The conversation covers the importance of considering the broader context, such as taxes, terms of the deal, and opportunity costs.
Together, they emphasize the need for a comprehensive understanding of the numbers and the value they represent.
