Whether a first-time buyer or trying to navigate today’s competitive market, the search and purchase process can be stressful and time-consuming.
Here are our best tips to help make your home buying process simple and manageable:
Start by Knowing What You Can Afford
Before beginning your search, you need to be realistic about what is affordable and your price range. This is because sometimes, home buying can be emotionally overwhelming. You may end up buying a home that you may have to give up later because it exceeds your financial capacity. Therefore, meet a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford to pay for a house.
Pre Approval
Once you are clear about your budget, the next step is to get a pre-approval. This helps because sellers are more receptive to potential buyers who are pre-approved. The buyer actually applies for a mortgage with pre-approval and then receives a commitment in writing from a lender. It further shows to the seller that you are a serious buyer. Besides this, a pre-approval will help you avoid being disappointed by going for homes out of your price range.
List Your Requirements
Make two lists that describe your requirements. The first list should have the items you need, like the number of bedrooms, the home’s size, and location. The second list should focus on want you would like to have but are not necessary, like a pool or deck. This will help stay on track for what you are looking for.
Seek Professional Help
Consider hiring a trusted and experienced real estate company. Such a company can offer you quality information on homes and neighborhoods that otherwise is not readily available to the public. Besides this, their home buying process knowledge, negotiating skills and familiarity with the area you want to live in can be precious when making your home buying decision.
Shop and Make an Offer
Start touring houses with the real estate agent to find the right home. Once you do, your agent will negotiate a fair offer based on the value of comparable homes in the neighborhood.
Get a Home Inspection
The next step is a home inspection to check for signs of structural damage and things that need repair. The findings will help you make an informed buying decision or renegotiate the offer if required. Once everything is done, apply for a mortgage and complete paperwork to close the deal.
