Avoiding The 10 Biggest Pit Falls When Buying a Home

1. Failing to have your real estate agent provide detailed market analysis on your home’s value. 
2. Failing to get a building inspection on the residence you are purchasing.
3. Neglecting to have a full staked survey on the property you are purchasing.
4. Making a low ball offer and discouraging the seller from negotiating with you.
5. Failing to get pre-qualified for a loan prior to making the offer to purchase.
6. Not allowing enough time to complete all of the necessary building and title examinations and inspections.
7. Neglecting to work with buyer’s agent.
8. Purchasing a for sale by owner (FSBO) or other real estate without the use of a real estate professional and attorney.
9. Purchasing a parcel of real estate without obtaining title insurance.
10. Obtaining a City Inspection!
