Buyers, avoid these big mistakes homebuyers often make:

1. Hire the wrong realtor
a. Realtor is a family member or friend... difficult to do business with friends and/or family this is the largest investment ever made... emotions can run strong damaging the relationship.
b. Hired an inexperienced Realtor... negotiations as well as all the details to get a home to closing require someone with good skills.
c. Jump around from agent to agent.... whoever they can get on the phone shows them the house they saw...this never gets the buyer comparables in the neighborhoods they are looking in, and never gets one particular agent looking out for the buyers best interest.
d. Buyer represented by Sellers agent. It is difficult for an agent to fairly be a "Disclosed Dual Agent" without one party feeling that the agent is being partial to the other.
e. Agent does not have an automated house hunting service or does not use the service.
2. Wrong financing -
a. The buyer uses the "in-house" mortgage company that is recommended by the Real Estate Broker. This could cost them more money to close and a higher percentage.
b. The Buyer uses an unreputable or unknown company that promises lower everything (rate, fees, etc), but when the mortgage paperwork actually comes in (at the closing table), the percentage and/or costs are way higher. At this point the buyer must either do the deal the way the mortgage company sent it, or walk away and try and get another mortgage before the house is sold to someone else. This creates a real mess... the buyer risks getting sued by the seller, no one has anywhere to live, personal belongings are put in storage at a huge rate EVERY day.
c. The buyer gets an interest only mortgage because that is all they can afford. Buying a house for as much as possible. Only to realize later that it will take years and years to have any equity in the home at all. The amount of appreciation a home will realize is typically low, and the closing costs and commissions alone will require the owner to bring money to the closing table if they decide to sell too soon.
3. No home inspection -
a. The buyer either is confident that the home is in great shape, or they don't want to put out the money for one. This is a big mistake. There is a lot of things that the typical buyer will not see, that can be found in a home inspection.
4. Not getting a pre-approval for a mortgage before looking -
a. The buyer looks at a house, falls in love with it, and then his offer is refused because the Seller's agent cannot tell the seller that the buyer is pre-approved for a mortgage. If in turn, another offer comes in with a pre-approval... this offer will be taken and the buyer without a pre-approval has then lost his dream home.
5. Not investing wisely -
a. Emotions run strong when looking for a house, come up with a list of needs and wants in your home, and don't get swept up by a pretty package... that does not have what you need most.
Etc., etc. etc.

Buying a home can be a very scary process, but does not need to be. It is highly recommended that you hire an honest agent, and stick with that agent. Interview them as if you were going to hire them for a job in your company. After all, they are going to be by your side during one of the most important investments in your life. Diane has helped many buyers find their dream home, and invest wisely at the same time.

Testimonials

"We listed our home with two other Realtors before we hired Diane. She sold our home the first day for full asking price!"

We were very serious about selling our home as quickly as we could, but also for the best money we could. There were other homes similar to ours in our area up for sale at the same time, but with your system, ours sold first. We got a full price offer the first day we showed our home, and it was nice to know that there was a professional to help and advise us, and to market our home really aggressively.
You were just fantastic. It was just a really pleasant experience, and we really appreciated the professionalism of your office staff as well, especially with our difficult traveling work schedules. I would have no hesitation recommending you to anyone who is really serious about selling their home.
C.B. and Traci B.

"The 2 previous Realtors we used were really not what I thought they would be!"

When we met with Diane for the first time, she explained that if we were not happy with the service she provided, we could simply get out of the listing agreement, and she put it in writing.* We thought this was great for our situation... since we had listed twice with other agencies, and found that once we signed a listing agreement ~the Realtor did nothing. They were not living up to their promises at all.

Diane took a different approach to marketing our home, and we had an agreement of sale in just 7 days for 97% of our asking price. We couldn't have been happier!

"Our home was sold in 2 days for full asking price which was $10,000 more than anything else in our neighborhood ever sold for!"

We would like to thank Diane and her staff for the aggressive way in which our home was sold. When our first buyer had problems, she immediately put another deal together so we didn't even need to change the settlement date for the purchase of our new home. Her quick response to answer all our questions helped to make things go smoothly. We recommend Diane whenever we can.
