Expert Home-Buying Secrets

 

Buying a house is a highly emotional experience — and it’s one that you can’t take lightly. After all, you’re going to be living in the home for the next 10, 20 or 30 years (or longer!), so it makes sense to get all the information you can to make the best possible decision.

Home-Buying Secret #1: Don’t Let Your Emotions Take Over

It’s easy to fall in love with the right house… just make sure that you’re not setting yourself up for disappointment by letting your feelings dominate your decision-making process.

However, emotions are different from instincts. Trust yourself if you feel you’re making the right decision based on a home’s value; don’t lean on your emotions if they’re making you willing to pay more for amenities and features than you’d pay in any other home.

When you buy a home, you’re buying the “whole package.” Unfortunately, that can include problems — but if you have a home inspector check out the home and give you a heads-up, you’ll know what you’re getting into.

If a home inspector finds issues that you’re willing to work with, you can use them to negotiate.

Home-Buying Secret #3: Let Your Realtor(R) Negotiate

In most cases, you don’t have to pay the seller’s asking price when you’re buying a home. Like any other major purchase, you’re often expected to negotiate.

Your Realtor’s expertise comes in handy at this point. Remember, he or she is trained in the art of negotiation — and your agent always has your best interests at heart. Your Realtor will work hard to get you the best possible deal on your new home.
