As a local real estate professional, I frequently see buyers make three common mistakes. These mistakes can easily be avoided if they’re identified ahead of time! Don’t make the same ones.

1. Not getting pre-qualified for a loan. Understanding what you can afford is huge in the buying process. Many people struggle with this especially. Work with a quality lender and know your target price range.
2. Not getting a home inspection. This can be easily done before you even list. Time is crucial and it’s rewarding to address and resolve repairs as soon as possible. A private contractor can help you do this efficiently and quickly. Play it safe!
3. Not knowing your market. If you’re not familiar with the local market, hire a Realtor to help you. It’s important to understand what homes are selling for. That’s how you effectively, competitively price your home and earn top dollar. Examine the differences and know real estate in the surrounding area.
