Buyer Myths

#1 The Listing Agent can write my offer for me.

While the listing agent can write your offer, they legally represent the seller. That means they’re looking out for the seller’s best interest—not yours. As a buyer’s agent, my job is to make sure you're protected, informed, and positioned to win.

“That would be like asking the other team’s coach to help you win the game. My role is to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal—not just any deal.”

#2 “The internet says it’s worth more—so let’s offer less.”  

Online estimates are just algorithms. They can’t see the finishes, condition, or upgrades of a specific home. They’re a starting point, not a strategy.
As an agent, I am here to provide expert pricing guidance based on comps, neighborhood trends, and current demand.

“Online companies give a ballpark, but I use real-time MLS data to help you make smart offers based on the actual market.”

#3 “I’m just going to wait for the market to crash.” 

No one can perfectly time the market. Waiting might mean missing out on appreciation or getting priced out altogether.
A better strategy is to buy based on life needs, timeline, and financial readiness—not fear.

“If the right home shows up tomorrow, would you be ready? My job is to help you be prepared—not pressured.

Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qualification: Why It Matters

Before you begin seriously shopping for a home, it's crucial that you understand all your financing options — and get your financial footing in order. This is where pre-qualification and pre-approval come into play.

Pre-Qualification: The First Step

Pre-qualification is a quick, informal assessment of your financial situation. It’s based on self-reported information (like income, debts, and assets) and gives you a general idea of how much you may be able to borrow.

Key features:

No verification of documents

No credit check required

Good for early-stage planning

Not considered strong by sellers

Pre-Approval: The Game Changer

Pre-approval is a formal, lender-verified process that evaluates your financials in detail. The lender reviews income, assets, debts, and runs a credit check to issue a pre-approval letter stating the exact loan amount you are qualified for.

Key features:

Requires documentation (pay stubs or statements, financial documents etc.)

Includes a credit check

Strengthens offers (especially in competitive markets)

Shows sellers that you are serious and financially ready

Why It Matters

A pre-approval letter gives you a clear price range and shows sellers you are ready to move forward — often making the difference in a multiple-offer situation
