And Avoid Paying Too Much in the Process
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make—and unfortunately, it’s also one of the easiest times to make costly mistakes. Whether you’re considering a new build or an existing resale, the process can be full of hidden pitfalls that can end up costing you more than you bargained for.
Many buyers—especially first-timers—fall into the same traps:
Overpaying for a home
Losing their dream home to another buyer
Settling for a home that doesn’t truly fit their needs
