What I tell my Buyers Top 10 Mistakes Made by First Time Home Buyers

Everytime I meet with a new home buyer, I give them a Home Buyer's Guide so they can familiarize themselves with the home buying process.

In this guide, I talk about the 10 most common mistakes made by buyers.

1. Wait to buy until interest rates come down
2. Looking at NEW homes without your Realtor
3. Buying big ticket items before your the mortgage is approved
4. Making an offer way under the asking price
5. Not getting a home inspection on a brand new home
6. Applying for a mortgage with multiple companies
7. Going to a For Sale By Owner without a Realtor
8. Not getting a detailed Good Faith Estimate from the lender
9. Quitting or changing jobs
10. Not getting pre-qualified or pre-approved before making an offer on a home

These are common mistakes made by buyers who are not familiar with the home buying process.  Using a Realtor to represent you in the purchase process is very important.  Your Realtor can easily guide you through every step realizing your dream of home ownership.
