The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make
When Buying Home...And How To Avoid Them
Mistake #1:
Not knowing how much they can afford before they make
an offer. Get pre-approved by a lender so you know
how much you can afford.
Mistake #2:
Not realizing whom the real estate agent represents.
Most people think that the agent they are working
with is working for them. But unless they are working
as your buyer-broker, they represent the seller.
Mistake #3:
Not realizing that the wrong mortgage can cost thousands
of dollars in needless interest and taxes.
Mistake #4:
Not discovering hidden defects before they buy a home.
Get a professional home inspection.
Mistake #5:
Not knowing how much credit can affect their ability
to buy a home. Your mortgage professional can help
you prepare your credit file in advance.
