Your Home Buying Plan

1. Choose Your Representative
Even if you’re just thinking of buying a home, contacting a real estate agent can provide a wealth of valuable resources. You can get access to a wide range of information that will allow you to be prepared when you are ready to make the next step.

2. Find Your Price Range
The best way to find out your price range is to speak to your lender. A mortgage pre-approval will assure that you are ready to purchase a home. It will also allow you to develop a budget and know exactly what to look for when searching for a home.

3. Know What you Want
Develop clear specifications on the type of home you want. This includes: price, neighborhood, accessibility, distance to work, schools, etc. Knowing what you want will put you one step closer to finding the home of your dreams!

4. Find your Dream Home!
Once you know exactly what you want and your price range, you will be surprised how much your buying representative will be able to assist you. Before you know it, you will be waking up in the home you’ve always dreamed of!

Your Home Buying Plan

1. Real Estate Agent

A successful purchase begins with picking the right representative. Your agent will guide you through the entire process, making your home buying experience a memorable one.

2. Lender

Your financial representative should be someone you feel comfortable with. Buying a home is likely the largest purchase you will ever make. Choosing an honest, trustworthy lender will ease the home buying process.

3. Lawyer

A home purchase is a time consuming process that is filled with detailed information which is likely beyond your expertise. Your lawyer should be willing to take the time to clearly explain anything you are uncertain of. It is recommended that your lawyer be specialized in real estate law.

4. Home Inspector

Spending a few hundred dollars to conduct a home inspection will reassure that you are buying the right home. It is better to catch any major problems before you purchase the home, rather than spending thousands of dollars in the future to repair any damages.
