Buyers here are five ways to turn off a seller...

Buyers take note...there are a minefield of seller turn-offs you can trigger that hold the potential to keep you from getting the home you want at the best price and terms or to unnecessarily complicate dealings with your home's seller. Here are a few of the most common ones... 1) Trash-Talking. Keep your opinions to yourself. Once the house is yours you can make what ever changes you like. 2) Be Pre-Approved. No seller will take you seriously if you haven't already met with a mortgage professional and gotten your pre-approval letter. 3) Making Low Ball Offers. There was a short window of opportunity after the financial crisis when you could get some bargains. That window is closed. 4) Re-negotiating Mid Stream. This is just bad business and whether you are a buyer or a seller this practice will leave a bad taste in people's mouths. Buying and selling a home is a big undertaking. Do it right, do it properly and enjoy your new home.
