Nobody wants to be that buyer—you know, the one that makes realtors cry into their coffee. But sometimes, buyers don’t even realize they’re making the home-buying process way harder than it needs to be.
So, let’s do a little self-check. Are you guilty of any of these?
🚩 Ghosting Your Realtor – If your agent has spent hours finding homes for you and you suddenly disappear, that’s a no-go. Good communication = good results.
🚩 Making Unrealistic Lowball Offers – Everyone wants a deal, but offering $50K below asking in a hot market is like trying to buy a Tesla for the price of a used Honda Civic.
🚩 Not Having Your Financing Ready – If you’re not pre-approved before house shopping, you’re just window shopping.
🚩 Bringing Your Entire Family to Every Showing – It’s your house, not theirs. If you must bring someone, keep it to one or two trusted voices.
🚩 Nitpicking Over Small Things – If a home is perfect but you’re stuck on the paint color or a missing doorknob, you’re missing the bigger picture.
Moral of the story? Be decisive, be respectful, and be ready. Your dream home is waiting—don’t be the reason you miss it!
