Buying a home is exciting, but it’s also easy to get caught up in the wrong things. In this episode of Ladies Who List, we uncover the most common mistakes buyers make and how to avoid them.

From focusing only on looks instead of layout, location, and build quality, to overlooking the true condition of a home, we share the pitfalls that can cost buyers big. We also talk about the risks of choosing the wrong agent—or no agent at all—and how that can be the difference between winning and losing in a multiple-offer situation.

Plus, why your behavior at showings can actually impact your chances in a competitive market.

If you’re a buyer (or planning to be one), this is the playbook you need to shop smarter and avoid costly missteps.
