Common Homebuyer Concerns: Part 3


Common Misstep Number 3: Failing to Choose an Agent You Can Trust

This week we are covering the importance of finding an agent you know you can trust. What’s more, actually trusting the agent you chose and giving them the freedom to show you homes outside your perception of what a home should look like. A good agent knows the potential of homes and may see that potential before you do. A good agent will know your likes and dislikes and also your personality. He or she will find homes to show you based upon more than simply your likes and dislikes. When your agent shows you a home you wouldn’t have chosen yourself, ask questions. Ask what your agent sees in the home and expect them to make a case for why you should even consider the property. Keep an open mind while listening to the explanations. You never know: just maybe this out-of-the-box home will be your next dream home! And remember, there are plenty of agents you can trust; so if you’re working with one that you find yourself not trusting, you may want to think about looking for a new agent. This is all part of the due diligence you as a home buyer must exercise during the entire home buying process. More on this next week!
