Why Buying a Home Without a Realtor Could Be a Costly Mistake

Thinking about buying a home on your own? You can, but it might cost you big time!
While it’s tempting to go solo in the homebuying process, purchasing a home is far more complex than clicking ‘add to cart.’ As one of the best realtors in the area, I know the pitfalls of navigating this massive decision alone. In fact, 89% of buyers in 2023 used a real estate agent, and there’s a good reason why.

Buying a home isn’t just about finding the right property—it’s about understanding market trends, negotiating the best deal, navigating extensive paperwork, and managing the financial intricacies that come with such a significant purchase. Without professional guidance, you risk making costly errors that could result in losing your dream home or overpaying.

From securing financing to making a competitive offer and negotiating repairs, I handle every detail to ensure my clients’ interests are protected. With my local expertise, I can help you find a home that fits your budget and lifestyle while guiding you through every step of the process.

Don’t let the complexities of buying a home overwhelm you. Partner with me, an award-winning realtor who knows how to get the job done right. Whether you’re buying or selling, I’m here to make your real estate journey a success!

Good morning Laura. Must say, as a licensed broker and attorney, never represented myself on a real estate transaction. You need someone who sets the emotions aside. Enjoy your day.

Hello Laura - "can" and "should" are quite different.

When a person buys off the name on the sign, the sellers and the agent win, and the buyer makes them all smile as they don't work for the buyer.

I can't imagine trying to go the home purchase route alone!  You set out the issues well here.
