Ten Mistakes Buyers Typically Make

Posted by on December 28, 2009 | No Comments

A concise list of ten mistakes home buyers often make, including: misinterpreting the real estate agents’ actions as representing the buyer alone and disclosing too much information to the sellers and their agents. Learn that mortgage companies and appraisers do not protect or promote the interests of the buyer, and do not minimize the effect of competing buyers.

An example from the resource: “Buyers are usually unaware of the importance of personally attending and conducting thorough and independent physical property inspections, environmental audits and separate property appraisals as a condition of the home purchase.”
