44% of homebuyers say they weren’t aware of all the costs pertaining to buying a home.
To me that means, their agent and/or their mortgage broker didn’t do a thorough job of explaining the entire process if they’ve gotten to that point and still aren’t aware.
I, as a real estate broker educate all buyers prior to showing them homes so they know all the additional costs and steps involved in buying a home.
One added bonus for my buyers though is I’m also a licensed home inspector so that saves them inspection fees immediately. I do provide an unbiased, totally forthright and honest inspection of the property.
Some question the integrity of doing this; however, those who know me know I’m not about a one time deal but about building a long lasting relationship with my clients.
Additionally, I won’t jeopardize my licenses nor put my name and reputation on the line at any cost.
The infographic will give you, a new homebuyer, a small look into some of the main costs that you may not be aware of.
I always suggest that you connect with a real estate professional and a competent lender so they can assist you every step of the way.
