Fact or Myth... do you know the difference?



Top 5 Myths For Buying A Home
Sometimes when buying a home, expectations may be high. If you are looking to purchase a home, remember it's still a business transaction.
                                                                                                                              
Here are our Top 5 Myths For Home Buyers
1. The listing information is always correct ~ Wrong. When it comes to listings, don't always take the information on the house as being on-target. Some times listing agents don't bother to check out facts they receive from the sellers and the wrong data is posted. Always verify!
2. We will find the PERFECT house ~ Not always. Buyers may try to focus on something that's wrong with a house rather than all of it's good points. Don't expect to get everything on your wish list and zero in on the items that are the most important to you.
3. If we have several agents looking for homes on our behalf, we'll find a house quicker. Wrong again. By working exclusively with one agent you will improve the momentum and the end results. Working with your Buyers Agent thrives on communication, loyalty and trust!
4. When a house remains on the market longer, the more you can negotiate a better deal.  Buyers always ask, "How long has this home been on the market?" They may think the longer its been on the market the more they can negotiate the price down.  Wrong ~ It often means the seller is determined to hold on to their price.
 
5. If the offer is accepted right away, it was too much to offer."  No, it's just called buyers remorse. There's no point in second-guessing what the bottom line is, go with your goal and everyone will be a winner.

Owning a home can be a wonderful experience or a nightmare.  It pays to be prepared for the experience.
