One of the biggest mistakes homebuyers make is finding a house online and wanting to buy it right away. They’ll contact an agent, see the house, and fall in love with it. The fact is they don’t even know if they can buy it, but now they’re attached. The convenience of the internet and online listings make this mistake all too common. But you don’t have to go through that.
A Real Estate Agent’s job is to help you find your new home that is as close as possible to your preferences. They do this by asking you what you’re looking for in a new home and potential deal breakers. They also need to know: Are you qualified? What is your price range? Your financial parameters are important because they want you to fall in love with a home you can afford. The worst thing you can do is go out, find a home you fall in love with, and find out that you can’t buy it. Talk about heartbreak!
