I was super lucky when I bought my first house because one of my dearest friends from high school was a Realtor. He gave me the inside scoop on so many things and kept me from making a lot of the mistakes people make when they buy their first home. I polled some of my Facebook friends about the mistakes they made when they bought their first house and put it all into this week’s Tacoma Real Estate Moment!
In conclusion, the best thing you can do to prevent making big mistakes when you buy your first house is to find a Realtor and a Lender that you can trust. Good places to investigate Realtors are Yelp, Zillow, and Google Reviews. Or you know, you can just contact me.
