The Mistakes Smart People Make When Buying a Home – and How to Avoid Them
| Mistakes | Prevented By |
| 1. Not knowing how much they can afford to pay for a house before they make an offer. | Get pre-qualified for a mortgage from a Lender, so you know in advance exactly how much you can afford. |
| 2. Not finding out in advance whom the real estate agent represents.
|
Asking your Realtor. Most people think their agent is working for them. But unless the agent is working as your buyer representative, he/she represents the seller. |
| 3. Not realizing that the wrong mortgage can cost thousands of dollars in unnecessary interest and taxes.
|
Consulting with a mortgage consultant before making a final decision on which mortgage to choose. |
| 4. Not discovering hidden defects before buying a home. | Hiring a professional to conduct a pre-purchase home inspection. |
| 5. Not knowing how debt can affect their ability to buy or refinance a home. | Do not apply for credit. Ask your mortgage professional in advance |
