Facts Every Buyer Should Know

Here are some important facts that you should know before buying a home. These tips will help you avoid making costly mistakes.


Rely On An Experienced Buyer's Agent. A Buyer's Agent can save you money by using years of successful negotiating experience on your behalf.

Get Financially Pre-Approved. This will let you know how much you can comfortably afford to spend. Plus, you will have the opportunity to lock in a specific interest rate.

Obtain a Comparative Market Analysis. Obtain a report showing what similar homes in the area have sold for, as well as the difference between their asking and selling prices. Armed with this knowledge, you can be sure your offer is reasonable.

Understand Negotiating Styles. Insisting on the lowest possible offer is not always the best tactic because it tends to alienate the seller.

Relying on years of experience closing real estate transactions, I can select the negotiating style that best fits your situation.



Read The Details in the Offer To Purchase. Wrong assumptions about what is included and what is not included in your Offer can lead to increased costs.

I will explain the agreement to you so there are no last minute surprises.



Rely on Facts. Too often buyers rely strictly on their emotions rather than on facts when deciding to buy a home.

I will help you keep your emotions in check while providing you with the facts you need to ensure a smart decision.
