1.Making too low of an offer. Don't find yourself among the heartbroken that have lost their dream home because they were unwilling to budge on their purchase offer.
2. Not hiring a buyer's agent. A smart buyer will hire a good buyer's agent to guide them through the complex and sometimes difficult buying process.
3. Failing to get a professional inspection. Protect yourself and hire a professional inspector prior to the purchase of any property.
4. Moving too slowly. The best properties get sold fast! Don't put off your agent. You should try to make decisions quickly.
5. Seeing too manyhomes. Write down a list of your needs, wants, and desires, and then prioritize them, so your agent can focus on locating the right home for you.
6. Not getting pre-approved. The best properties are in demand. You take a chance of losing out to another buyer with a more solid offer.
7. Putting home sale contingencies in their purchase offers. Many sellers will not want to take the risk of accepting a contingent offer and are less likely to negotiate on the selling price.
