Three truths
first-time
buyers need
to know
❝
Purchasing property
is a somewhat
complicated matter,
which is why several
professions exist to
help buyers make
these things happen.
REP REPORTER
Many buyers find the process of purchasing
their first home overwhelming because there
are so many new concepts with which to
g ra p p l e .
It is easy to feel disheartened by the whole
process, but buyers should find some comfort
in knowing it is not an uncommon experience
to feel somewhat out of your depth when
dealing with these transactions.
“Purchasing property is a somewhat
complicated matter, which is why several
professions exist to help buyers make these
things happen, including transferring attorneys,
bond originators, and real estate agents [to
name but a few related professions].
“First-time buyers should not allow
themselves to feel overwhelmed by the process.
“Instead, they should find professionals who
they can trust and lean on their guidance to
help them navigate through the whole process,”
recommends Adrian Goslett, regional director
and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
The trouble is many first-time buyers feel
intimidated by the process and tend not to ask
as many questions as they ought to.
To help buyers feel more confident as they
head into this decision, RE/MAX of Southern
Africa shares a few truths, of which every firsttime
buyer ought to be aware …
Truth #1: Nobody knows what they are
doing when buying their first home.
It is easy to think you must have skipped that
lesson where the concepts of homeownership
were taught at school – the truth is these
concepts aren’t really covered in any detail
within the South African curriculum.
Some might be more aware of these
concepts than others simply because they were
surrounded by conversations about real estate
from a young age.
But, most buyers only learn about
homeownership once they start looking to
p u rch a s e .
Luckily, there are so many good sources of
information available online that it’s easy to
pick up the basics from a quick Google search.
Truth #2: It is okay to ask questions.
Buying a home is one of the most significant
investments a person will make in their life, so it
is entirely okay to ask as many questions as you
need so that you understand what’s happening.
Never be shy to ask a question, even if you
think it might make you sound stupid.
You need to make sure you are making the
right decision, so speak up if something does
not make sense to you.
Truth #3: You don’t need to do it alone.
The first step here is to find a reliable real
estate professional who you can trust and who
can help guide you through the process.
Through their wide network of clients and
colleagues, real estate professionals can put
you in touch with other professionals that can
help you in the areas where you need a little
extra assistance.
Nobody expects you to be an expert when
buying your first home, so never feel shy to ask
for extra support and guidance.
