Information for Buyers: Too Many Experts
It can be difficult to make an informed home buying decision when confronted with advice from too many “experts”. If you have just found the home you want to buy, you are probably feeling excited, thrilled and confused at the same time.
You are comfortable and trust the agent who helped you and feel that the advice you received is solid. But you also want to get opinions about the house from your best friend, your parents, and a relative who has an inactive real estate license.
If you get input from too many sources, you could find yourself even more confused than you already are.
You friend can give you moral support but chances are they don’t know the market in your area. Your parents might go into shock because prices have gone up so much since they purchased their home. Even though your uncle passed the real estate exam his insights may not be relevant to the market where you want to live. Its not that you shouldn’t consult your family and friends, just don’t go overboard. Rely on the advice of professionals that you trust, a professional home inspector, your experienced real estate agent, and your mortgage loan officer, so that you can feel comfortable about having made an informed decision.
