Warning Signs of a Bad Real Estate Agent

by Shakadoo Leave a Comment

8456188296_c28f171779_oLet me preface this by saying: if you are buying or selling a home, you should absolutely hire a Realtor to help you. You will save money in the long run, not to mention a huge amount of stress- they will make sure the transaction goes smoothly. However, that is all dependent on your agent being good at what they do. While almost all agents are great at their job and will communicate effectively, there are some that will exhibit warning signs that you should watch out for. Check out this article by Lisa at Mama Real Estate. If this sounds like your agent, it might be time to hire a new one:

-They don’t call or respond in a timely manner- if it takes them days or weeks to get back to you, they are not taking you seriously.

-They refuse to negotiate on your behalf.

-They tell others your confidential information without your express consent.

-They are extremely disorganized- Are they always late? Losing or forgetting important documents? Do they seem scatterbrained and all over the place? This type of irresponsible person is probably not the one you want handling a transaction worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Before Buying A Home…

by Shakadoo Leave a Comment

26245069863_35ba80c2d2_zMost people know that it takes a lot of preparation to be able to own your own home. It requires planning and research and isn’t something that can be rushed into! To make sure that you are as prepared as possible, check out this post by L Bee and the Money Tree at Financial Best Life. Here are just some of the things you need to get done before even thinking of buying a home:

-Build your wishlist! Know what you’re looking for. Location? Number of bedrooms? Neighborhood? Fenced in backyard? Garage?

-Get pre-qualified/pre-approved for a mortgage, shop around for the best interest rates.

-Include all fees/closing costs in your budget.

-Have all your financial documents together before applying.
