Avoid These Home Buying Errors to Prevent Striking Out
Real estate and baseball have a lot in common. Scouting a new right fielder for your team is like house hunting. Playing each game is like attending open houses. And winning your league's championship is like having a seller accept your offer.
What many home buyers don't understand is that the 30 to 45 days before closing day is like the home stretch of a baseball game. Errors that happen during this time could get your closing day delayed for rain or even thrown out at third.
Okay, enough with baseball. In the real estate world, there are mistakes home buyers can make during the time prior to closing day that can jeopardize closing on their new home.
Our real estate agents are ready to be by your side during the home buying process. Here are the five mistakes to avoid so your home buying experience is a "home run!"

Why Hire a Professional to Sell Your Home
There is a reason most sellers--roughly 90 percent--use a professional real estate to sell their homes. Professionals have the real estate "know how" to sell your home quickly and for the right price. If you're still considering a FSBO to save the price of a commission, think again. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® reports people who choose to "go it alone" and sell without a REALTOR® often make less money than they would hiring a REALTOR®.
Selling a house quickly and for the most money takes time, marketing skills, knowledge of the local neighborhood, and negotiation skills--to name a few. Using a real estate agent can be the difference between a successful sale and months of frustration.
If that's not enough cause to hire a professional, here are four more reasons why hiring a REALTOR® like those on our team at Old Dominion Realty is the right choice for you.
