What Not To Say When Buying A Home

1. “This is my dream house!”— gushing leads sellers to believe you’ll do anything for the house and play hardball accordingly.

2. “That couch is hideous”— never insult the home seller’s taste.

3. “I can’t wait to rip out that swing set”— home sellers with memories in the home might not want to hear about all the changes you’ll make.

4. “I can afford to spend x” — you’ve tipped your hand too much.

5. “Why are you selling?”— likewise, sellers don’t want you to pry.
