Just before you set out on the adventure of buying real estate, it’s important to understand your legal rights as a home buyer so you aren’t seduced by the misguided beliefs that surround the true guidelines of the business.

It’s up to you to learn about the different aspects of buying real estate. Things like the purchase contract, mortgage rates and above all what’s possible to anticipate so far as the soundness of the home you’re considering, as well as any monetary dealings associated with it.

It’s your responsibility to complete your preparation and realize your complete protection under the law. Don’t leave these things up to your real estate agent or attorney.

Thanks to anti-discriminatory laws and regulations such as the Fair Housing Act, no property owner may refuse to accept an offer coming from any buyer, although the belief is that this is any sellers’ legal right. Any such behavior is often legally interpreted as discrimination. Don’t let any person inform you they’ll not allow your offer to be presented.

It does not mean, of course, that your offer will be accepted, or even that the seller will make a counter-offer.

In locations where multiple offers on the same real estate for sale are not that unusual, it should be comforting for you to know that at least your offer will be presented to the seller.
