When buying a home use a buyers agent. Do not use the sellers agent as they become at cross purposes. The seller owes their loyalty to the seller. Although they can represent you as a transaction broker, it is not a wise thing to do.
Do not assume that everything that you want to be in your potential home will be possible.
Don’t restrict yourself to just one area. Look at others as you may be surprised. If nothing else it will confirm what you thought.
Do not be too concerned with all the aesthetics of the home. If they involve repairs then yes, but if they are cosmetic, they can be fixed.
Make sure you really do read the contracts thoroughly. Ask your agent to explain anything you don’t understand.
Don’t sign anything until your lawyer or agent has read through the paperwork.
Don’t lowball the seller by making a ridiculous offer. You can easily shut yourself out of the deal plus lose the faith of your buyers agent. Be realistic about offers based on comps.
Don’t buy anything that is not realistic for your budget, figuring things will get better.
While buying a home is a huge undertaking, it can be an enjoyable experience for someone. Have fun an choose wisely while you keep in mind all of the things that can kill your deal.
