Agent AdviceFive reasons a property sells: 1) Location;

2) Price; 3) Terms; 4) Condition; and 5) TheAGENT you choose. Whether buying orselling, you are in control of four of thesefive. The key is to “know your agent.” Pickyour agent with the same care you wouldexercise picking a new house to move into.The agent is just as important as the rest ofthe process.

Don’t forget that market conditions doaffect market value, so choose a realtor orlender who knows the difference betweenthe two. The home buying process is one ofthe biggest decisions you will ever make, sobe sure to get second opinions and doresearch. Get every “promise” in writtencontracts for your own protection.

Avoid the three biggest mistakes buyerscan make:

Choosing the Wrong House: Perhaps thecostliest mistake buyers can make whenbuying a home is choosing the wrong one.The house may end up being too big or too

small for the future of your family. It mightneed too many repairs, may be pricedwrong or is too far from where you work.

Choosing the Wrong Lender: Somelenders tack on questionable charges, highinterest rates and hidden junk fees. Avoidgetting caught in these traps and stick tousing local established “brick and mortar”lenders and realtors who will be honest andup front with you from the beginning.

Choosing the Wrong Agent: When look-ing for a new home, it’s easy to make theprevious two mistakes if you choose thewrong agent. Choosing the right housebegins with choosing the right agent.
