5 Common First-Time Buyer Mistakes

They don’t ask enough questions of their lender and miss out on the best deal.

They don’t act quickly enough to make a decision and someone else buys the house.

They don’t find the right agent whose willing to help them through the homebuying process.

They don’t do enough to make their offer look good to a seller.

They don’t think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.

Where do buyers FIND their next home?

The reach of the internet in terms of real estate marketing recently extended beyond that of any other medium. Quite simply, online marketing is the best way to reach buyers, and this is truer every day. 2005 marked the first time when more buyers used the Internet as an information source than used newspapers. When buyers begin their home searches, they typically start with a search engine such as Yahoo! or Google. I can make your home easy to find on the Internet. All my listings are advertised on the following websites:

Realtor.com, MyBridgewater.com,Googlebase.com, Oodle.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, LiveDeal.com, CityCribs.com, Vast.com, Edgeio.com, PropSmart.com, RealEstateAdvisor.com, TheHouseingPages.com, MyWestBridgewater.com, VideoHomes.com, TonyLonergan.com, MyEastBridgewater.com, House.com, PropBot.com, Homescape.com, USCondoExchange.com, ForSale.com, Hotpads.com, Craigslist.com and more sites are added weekly.

What are buyers LOOKING for?

Photographs. 97% of buyers find property photos at least somewhat useful, and photos are considered the most valuable online feature. Buyers must be able to visualize themselves in your home, which is why I provide high quality digital photographs on my website.

Detailed Property Information. Just as is the case with photos, 97% of buyers find detailed property information at least somewhat useful. Of course – who wouldn’t want to gather as much information as possible before purchasing a home? I am able to enter far more detailed information about your home, giving your potential buyers enough to pique their interest.

Virtual Tours. The virtual tour captures their imagination as to how they would decorate the room. It also helps them remember the property and I make it easy for them to share the experience by letting them email the virtual tour to friends and family, enlarging the viewing audience of your home.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, need a home valuation or have questions about selling your home on your own, feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Tony Lonergan

This Just In...

The Senate and House voted in favor of extending the first-time homebuyer tax credit. As you know, the legislation extends, through April 30, an $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit and creates a new $6,500 credit for homebuyers who have been in their current residence for the last five years or more. The Senate unanimously voted Wednesday night (98-0). The House just passed the bill this afternoon (Thursday, November 5th) (403-12). President Obama is expected to sign the legislation tomorrow, Friday, November 6.
