Buying a home is
something that most people look forward to, especially if it's their
first foray into home ownership. However, sometimes, eagerness and
excitement can make them unaware of how they behave, specifically
when they are looking into the homes they are interested in or
attending open houses. If you are shopping around for your dream
home, remember that good behavior can go a long way and may even land
you a good price.
If the property owner
is giving you a tour, remember that voicing out what is on your mind
is not necessarily helpful. You may feel like criticizing the owner
for choosing a velvet couch or wall-to-wall carpeting even though
they own three golden retrievers that shed hair like crazy. Keep in
mind that you are there to see if the house is a good fit for you and
your family, not judge how the previous occupants lived.
While you may be
enthusiastic about examining every corner of the home as if a crime
scene investigator to spot possible problems like peeling paint and
such, be aware that there may be areas that the owner still want to
keep as private as possible, such as the kids' bedroom or their
master bedroom. Thus, don't invite yourself in a locked room unless
the owner grants you permission to do so. By displaying good
behavior, you may just receive the deal of a lifetime.
