Myth Busters for Buyers

MYTH: I can only use the Realtor listed on the sign in front of the property.

Response: Any licensed Realtor can show homes listed in the MLS and choosing the right Realtor for you is one of the most important decisions you will make in the purchase of your new home.

MYTH: My Realtor will know how much I am qualified to spend on my purchase.

Response: Realtors work very closely with lenders and can even recommend someone to a buyer. However, Realtors cannot determine what a purchaser is qualified to spend without a lender’s help. Purchasers will be much more successful if they have met with a lender and received a letter prequalifying them before beginning their search. The prequalification letter allows the Realtor to know what budget must be adhered to and makes them more efficient in finding the perfect home for you without exceeding your budget.

MYTH: Having an inspection completed on the purchase of my home by a licensed inspector is very expensive. I can have someone I know check it out for me and save me some money.

Response: Purchasing a home is a very big decision. Many questions arise throughout the process. Hiring a licensed inspector to inspect your purchase helps to alleviate questions that you might have. Choosing to allow someone who is not licensed to inspect your home could lead to very costly mistakes.

When considering who you want to work with as a Realtor, I encourage you to choose someone who is willing to answer all of your questions and bust the myths of home buying. If you are looking for someone to do that for you give me a call. I will work tirelessly to have all your wishes come true.
