1. First get pre-approved – Know your budget and show sellers you're serious. 2. Don’t max your budget – Because life happens, buy below your limit to leave room for repairs, emergencies, and lifestyle. 3. Think long-term – Consider future resale value, school districts, and neighborhood growth. 4. Get a home inspection – Always inspect before closing to avoid expensive surprises. 5. Factor in all costs – Include taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and maintenance, not just the mortgage. 6. Don’t skip the fine print – Understand your contract and financing terms—ask questions. 7. Stay emotionally smart – Don’t fall in love with a house before doing your due diligence. 8. The buyer's consultation is a LOT of information, but do it. Pay attention and ask questions. No question is a "dumb question".

1. Price it right from the start – Overpricing chases buyers away. Competitive pricing draws attention and offers. 2. First impressions matter – Boost curb appeal with clean landscaping, fresh paint, and a welcoming entry. 3. Declutter and depersonalize – Make the space feel open and let buyers imagine themselves living there. 4. Fix what’s broken – Handle minor repairs upfront—buyers notice everything. 5. Stage strategically – Well-staged homes sell faster and for more money. 6. Use professional photos – Online listings are your first showing. Quality photos drive clicks and tours. 7. Be flexible with showings – More availability = more potential buyers. 8. Choose the right agent – A skilled agent brings local knowledge, marketing, and negotiation strength. 9. Know your bottom line – Be clear on what you're willing to accept before offers come in. 10. Stay emotionally objective – It’s a business transaction now—detach to make smart decisions.
