Today I'd like to speak about some of the more common mistakes that homeowners make when trying to buy a home.

One big mistake is not getting pre-approved right away. People will often get excited and start searching for homes that are way out of their price range. Narrowing your home search from the beginning is important, and speaking with a lender about what you can afford to buy will help you accomplish this.

Another mistake is not getting the proper inspections before you move into the home. Your home is likely your largest asset, so why wouldn't you want to protect that investment with a home inspection?

Buyers also sabotage their own sale sometimes by making offers that are much too low, or being nit-picky about repairs. My advice is to repair the things that are important to you, and let the rest go. A few hundred dollars is not something that you want to lose a home over.

I also suggest acting quickly in this market, because if you take too long to make an offer, the home may already be sold.

We can help you avoid many of these pitfalls by having a one on one buyer consultation, where we will walk you through the process of buying a home.
