Tips to help confused buyers. Now, Im not a Realtor, or Loan Officer, but I am a homeowner, and a person who has nothing to gain from a person who is buying a home like a Realtor or a Loan Officer who do.
Trust no one when you are shopping for a house.
Look up houses on the internet for yourself in neighborhoods you like, then call the realtor listed and set up an appointment to look at it, This way you don't have anyone pressuring you into buying a house just because they need a quick sale. Don't let them talk you into looking at other houses either, they will try hard to do this; You are a walking sale and they don't want you to walk away because you are now so hard to come by. If you follow this rule, you will find it much easier to negotiate because you're only allowing them to show you that one house and if they can't get you to buy it, they know they probably won't get a chance to sell you another. If you let them show you other houses, they will discover your weaknesses and prey on them; you don't want them to get to know you too well and whatever you do, don't ever let them know the most you are looking to spend!
See you next week..lol
