Part 1 – 3 Ways Buyers Can Lose Money – #1 – Not Educating  Yourself to the Process

There are several ways buyers can lose money when they buy a home even though they don’t pay the commission.
 
1. They don’t educate themselves to the process
2.  They don’t explore their mortgage options
3.  They don’t hire proper representation
 
It is important to educate yourself to the buying process. Your home is most likely your largest asset.  Many people begin their search online, which is great because you begin to educate yourself to the market and its trends.  Yet, there may be pieces of the puzzle that you are missing. 

A home is not only your home, it is a future investment.  You want a home that will appreciate in value.  That is when an experienced, expert Realtor is an asset to have in your corner.  Not only can they walk you through the buying process and educate you, but they can help protect you from making a bad investment.  You need to hire a Realtor that treats your money like their own. 

Every real estate transaction presents a different set of obstacles, that is why it is pertinent to hire an experienced agent, one who knows how to navigate the obstacles and make it a smooth transaction for you.  An experienced Realtor’s business is built on recommendations so they have your best interest in mind.  And they know the neighborhoods, the school districts and the municipalities. 

So when you are ready to purchase, educate yourself, your home is likely your largest investment and that is how you need to treat it.  If you are thinking about buying and want to educate yourself contact The Swain Team for a free buyer consultation where we explain the process and give you advice based upon your needs.
