I get frustrated watching World Poker Tour when the players don't show their cards to the little camera for the television audience to see.
Many buyer's are approaching the home buying arena keeping their cards hidden from the agent who is representing them. I've heard and read plenty of frustrating moments of trying to read a buyers mind. Meanwhile what could have been a Full House is now washed away like a Royal Flush.
What bugs me is the fact that there is no reason for hidden agenda's between the buyer and their agent. Buyer's should form a team partnership with their agent. Giving the agent the information to win the game for you will be rewarding for both sides.
So how do you "Up Your" hand to win the housing game?
Prepare a personal budget before getting pre-qualified for a mortgage.
Know what you want to buy. Prepare a wish list of only the items you would like in your home.
Locate the agent who is compatible with you and your needs. Meet with the agents, do some research on them, rate the agents you interview. Provide your wish list and any other information that will be important for winning the game.
Be open and up front with your chosen Team Partner (Agent). They are there for your ultimate "all in" hand, but they will need to know what cards are in your hand. Communication is the key to winning the game.
Believe me, your agent wants you to be the winner! A jack pot in a Realtors eyes is a referral from a happy customer. They are not the enemy, they are your partners that can help you stack the deck with the right information.
