Buying A Home?
- Buying a home? You do not want to end up buying a home with unexpected surprises, "PROBLEMS" do you? What about purchasing real estate that eventually becomes a financial burden, "LE MONEY PIT" during home ownership? How about acquiring a house that is a potential "HEALTH CONCERN" for you and your loving family?
Buying a home has become more complex over the decades demanding greater attention to detail. As building techniques move forward, due to the advancements in products, building materials, and technology, they often merge with older once accepted building practices, and components, including operational obsolete - vintage service equipment and appliances.
How does one avoid unexpected home buying surprises? Whether you research buying a home over the internet or while talking to close friends and family, during conversations with colleagues at the office or more importantly while talking to your bank's professional mortgage consultant about long or short term, fixed or variable rate mortgages, you are likely to hear them all say; "A thorough home inspection conducted by a trusted home inspector and established home inspection company is highly recommended, and should be thought of a prerequisite when buying a home.
Avoid Rushed Decisions.
Buying a home can be very stressful to many home buyers. None more so than the first time home buyer, or/and the first time real estate property investor. This is well known secret throughout the real estate and home inspection industries, yet a well guarded secret to some none the less.
Buying a home? "Avoid rushed decisions" Think realistically. When you are unprepared and rushed into making quick decisions, and not calm & composed as you should be, individuals tend to make hurried decisions, that can, and likely do, benefit others at your expense.
As a former Scouts Canada member, a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venture Scout, their motto for preparing the young adults still rings true today. Simply put, "Be prepared." The idea behind any large financial investment, like buying a home or real estate property investment, is to educate before, hire a professional Real Estate Borker, and relax. Remember, if you require time to reflect than just ask. Professionals are there to help, they understand the process and grant allowances.
I know, we all have busy lives tugging and pulling us in every direction. Buying A Home or investment prperty? Avoid Rushed Decisions! Educate, hire professional and relax...
- Read the reams of available material professionals have to offer you, both over the internet as well as in-person.
- Follow planned and measured steps.
- Take a pen and paper, draw out a bucket list of your requirements.
- Be prudent in your decision making. When things get tense...Stop... Take a breath... and think realistically about what you know before you answer. If you require time to answer, then just say so. Professionals are there to help and are flexible. They want the best for you and your family. From my experience, allowing home buyers a measure of added time indicates a willingness to move forward.
- Be prudent. Understand your choices while making decisions.
- Always hire professionals! Their knowledge and support pay well-defined dividends. Best advice I can offer!
