Self-representing in a home purchase can be rewarding and cost-effective, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Without the expertise of a real estate agent, you need to be vigilant about potential red flags that could jeopardize your transaction.
Here are some crucial red flags to watch for when buying a home on your own and how Homa can help you navigate them:
1. Overpriced Properties
Without an agent's market knowledge, you might overpay for a property. Conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA) to ensure the asking price aligns with recent sales of similar homes in the area. Homa provides tools and resources to help you perform a thorough market analysis, ensuring you make an informed offer.
