Before you head out with your real estate agent, ask yourself these questions:

• What can you afford?
• Home buying needs and wants?
- for your PRESENT and FUTURE lifestyle.

These may include:
1. Size and square footage
2. Style of home
3. Community and proximity to nearby amenities
4. Development and Lot Size/Style

Most Common Buyer Errors

- Entering into a real estate transaction without representation from a licensed REALTOR®
• Unclear Title
• Paying above market value or “low-balling” and losing the property
• Unclear conditions of your purchase may leave you with 2 properties or worse, none!
- Placing offers without a Pre-Approval from a lender.
- Not having a property inspected prior to closing.
