There are several mistakes some home buyers make, and some of them are huge!

MISTAKE #3: FAILING TO PROPERLY "SCREEN" YOUR REALTOR 

It is likely that you do not often interview people. Yet, in order to find the Realtor who is right for you, you may need to interview several. The quality of your home buying experience is dependent upon your skill at selecting the best qualified person.

It is interesting that in the real estate business, someone with many successfully closed transactions usually costs the same as someone who is inexperienced! Bringing that experience to bear on your transaction could mean a lower price at the negotiating table, buying in less time, and with a minimum of hassles.

Agents make it their business to provide every service connected with your home search, from expert advice in the early stages through careful monitoring of your settlement. The more closely you work with your agent, the better your needs are known and the more effectively you can be served.

• Your agent should be a skilled win-win negotiator
• Your agent should have access to the MLS systems: a computerized system that will assist in locating the home that fits your needs and desires. 

The purchase of your home could well be the most important financial transaction you have ever made. The person you select can make it a satisfying and profitable activity, or a terrible experience. It's your home. It's your money!
