During a recent interview with Business Innovators Magazine, Real Estate Expert Jacki Mayo discussed common mistakes people make when purchasing a home for the first time. She also explained some simple steps for first time home buyers to protect themselves from common pitfalls.

Jacki Mayo is a real estate agent with 25 years of experience. She is located in Anacortes, Washington. She has multiple certifications including the Council of Residential Specialists, Agent Advantage Relocation, Military Relocation Professional and VA and Military Real Estate Specialist. She serves the Skagit Snohomish and Island County areas of Washington State.

During the interview Mayo stated, “One common one I see a lot is people focusing too much on online information. Especially when it comes to home loans. Going to the web for information is great and it is the first thing we all do but there is a limit to how precise that information can be compared to what an expert in your local market can tell you.”

In the interview Mayo delves into aspects of home buying including the financing process, how to get accurate information about your local real estate market and selecting the home and neighborhood. She also addresses questions related to common items that some first time home buyers miss in the negotiation process.

Mayo provides tips in the interview for more thoroughly investigating a potential neighborhood choice with questions some first time home buyers miss. She also talks about the question of when it might be the right time to shop for a home without a real estate agent.
