#12: Don’t Trust Anybody
In life, we are generally taught that it is good to trust people we know. And while there are many good, good people out there, there are also plenty of people who are ready to scam you the second you give them the chance. So, whenever you’re making a big purchase, make sure you do things on your own terms so as not to get sucked in by someone you don’t know.
Considering that buying a house is a pretty big purchase, we suggest going with your own real estate agent because you never know what the original realtor might expect or ask of you. And for a lot of first-home buyers who are new to the game, these situations can be extremely stressful, and you don’t want to end up losing all of your hard-earned money to a professional scammer.
