Home Buyer Etiquette

Buying a home is an emotional experience that can bring out the best and the worst in people. Even people who are generally considerate sometimes forget how to behave when they are looking for a house. After-all it’s not something people do every day, it’s a big purchase and it’s at least a little scary for most people. Sometimes, when there’s more than one person involved they may not agree, the kids are cranky from driving around, and everyone is concerned about making the right decision. All of these stress factors can cause people to act in ways they never would otherwise.

Now that market is getting busy and everyone is running around looking at houses, here are a few things to keep in mind while you're out there...hope it's helpful.. let me know if you have something to add.

It’s a waste of everyone’s time and agents have a responsibility to show homes only to qualified buyers. If you’re not ready to get pre-approved, then you’re not ready to look at houses!

3. If you go to an open house be prepared to sign-in and give correct information...more
