10 Mistakes Buyers Make when Purchasing a Home continued

In the previous posts we have discussed Making an Offer on a home without being Pre-Qualified, Not Having a Home Inspection and limiting your search to Open Houses, Ads and the Internet. Today we will explain a few more mistakes.
4. Choosing a Real Estate Agent who is not committed to forming a strong Business Relationship: Making a connection with the right Realtor is crucial. Choose a professional who is dedicated to serving Your Needs, before, during and after the sale. They should be informing you every step of the way and guiding you in your decision process by supplying the information you need to make an informed decision.
5.Thinking there is only one perfect house out there: Buying a home is actually a process of elimination, not selection. New properties arrive on the market daily so be open to all possibilities. Ask your Realtor for a comparable market analysis. This will compare similar homes that have recently sold or are still for sale. You may have to compromise on a few things to get the majority of what you are looking for.
6. Not considering long term needs: It is very important to think ahead. Will the home fit your needs 3 to 5 years from now? Whether it is because of layout, size of rooms or location these are important things to consider.

Next posting will cover the last 4 mistakes. Hope these have helped and if you have any questions just let us know.
