Tips for Buyers

In the sale of homes, three factors have always played leading roles in making one house more desirable than another;
location, price and condition. A 3 bedroom home with 2 baths and a garage in one neighborhood
may cost thousands of dollars more (or less) in another neighborhood.
So how do you begin your search for the perfect home?

Home Affordability

Determine how much home you can comfortably afford. This step is best accomplished by seeking the help of a mortgage company.
Shop around, as rates are different and loan fees may be higher with one company over another.
Pick the mortgage company that has the best loan product to meet your needs, and get a pre-approval for a mortgage.

Acquiring Realtor Services

Get the services of a Realtor in the area. Realtors are professional real estate agents who know the housing market
and will help you in the search process. No need to spend days driving around in your car with newspapers and homes magazines;
Realtors are members of local organizations and have computer access to most homes for sale in your chosen area.

Making the Offer

Should you offer full price? Can the Seller help with Closing Costs? What about Inspections and Repairs?
Your Realtor will guide you through this complicated process and make recommendations to help you get the home you desire.

Move in Time

With the help of your Realtor, this stressful process can be less hectic because you know you've
gotten the best possible price on the perfect home for your family!
