Common Buying Mistakes

 

    

              
 1. Not hiring your own agent to represent you in the buying process.
 2. Buying a new construction home by visiting the builder’s model and working with that agent who represents the builder.
 3.  Not having an inspection on a new or existing home that you are purchasing.
 4.  Not having language in the purchase contract that sufficiently addresses repair issues.
 5.   Buying a home solely on emotions without looking at logical issues such as the cost per square foot of comparable homes for sale in the neighborhood.
 6.   Buying a FSBO (for sale by owner) home without an agent representing you.
 7.   Not shopping homeowner’s insurance to get the most value for your $.
 8.  Not shopping mortgage rates and comparing them “apples to apples”.
 9. Buying a home without checking possible flood issues and relying on the information on the listing sheet that states “Flood Insurance Required” NO.
10.  Not including TN property disclosure as part of your contract negotiations.
11.  Not checking subdivision covenants and restrictions for possible problems prior to purchase.
12. Not checking into how adjacent property is zoned prior to your purchase.
