Choosing your real estate professional is, perhaps, the most important decision you will make when buying property

 

I believe the more you look around, the more you will see the value of working with me. However, no matter whom you choose, these simple tips will help you find and purchase the home of your dreams more quickly and efficiently.

Before You Shop

Learn the financing basics. Know how to shop for a home loan that's right for you.

This takes very little time and lets you know the price range that fits your lifestyle.

The last thing you need is to close a deal and realize you bought a house you don't want. Ask yourself what you're looking for in a home, before you shop. Think about size, commute time and necessary repairs.

Don't make major purchases or incur any additional debt until after your purchase. Pay down credit cards and don't apply for new ones. Remember, financial institutions evaluate your financial situation on your gross monthly income. Your total monthly house costs should not exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income.

Sometimes homes sell quickly, so be ready to make fast decisions. Be accessible to change the terms.

Instant communication can mean the difference in purchasing the property of your choice.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Submit a strong competitive offer.

Sometimes offers are accepted based on the amount of the deposit.

Fewer contingencies mean a stronger offer.

A professional building inspector or appraiser will make sure the house of your choice is in satisfactory condition.

Good residential neighborhoods will be zoned to keep out commercial and industrial users. Read any restrictive covenants and make sure they fit your lifestyle.

Be sure it clearly marks boundaries. Check for problems.

Your contract should be very specific about which items (appliances, etc) are included in the sale.

Make certain verbal agreements are written into the final contract to avoid any stressful and expensive issues later.
