TIPS FOR BUYING
Get Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved not only tells you what type of loan program you qualify for, but also how much of a home you qualify for. This will also tell sellers that you're serious.
Keep Emotions in Check
It’s important to keep your emotions in check so as to not overlook costly issues and overpaying for a home by allowing your feelings to cloud your judgement.
Use a Buyers Agent
They will help you navigate the home buying process and negotiate with your best interest in mind. Ask Questions and work with a realtor that you trust or feel comfortable with.
Understand Purchasing Fees
Speak with your realtor regarding the fees involved in making an offer, paying for inspections, appraisal, and downpayment required for your loan.
Come Prepared to Showings
Bring a notebook, camera, tape measure, and make notes on each property as viewing to remind yourself later. After looking at 10 properties they all start to run together.
Don't Skip Home Inspection
Home inspections are worth the investment. They can flag problems you may not otherwise see and give buyers peace of mind.
