Myth #6 Buying a house is as simple as agreeing on price and signing a few papers.

This is a continuation of a series: 10 Common Myths Shared by Homebuyers.* See Myth #5 here.

Not true! There are many issues that need to be negotiated beyond price.  There are many things to negotiate, some of which may include closing date, items to convey, contingency timeframes and closing costs.  Then there's other miscellaneous stuff that is situational like a home for sale contingency.  Additionally, there are many steps involved in purchasing a home beyond the contract.  Home inspection and appraisal are two big ones but there are plenty others that have to happen behind the scene. A realtor can help you make sure you don't miss any of these steps in addition to preparing you to be ready for them by making sure you understand the process and help you get a loan pre-approval.
