Work with a Real Estate Agent
Working with a real estate agent can save you time and money when buying a home. With access to the latest property listings, I can help you find the right home for your needs and budget. Plus, I can negotiate on your behalf, handle paperwork, and guide you through the entire home-buying process.
Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Before you even start house hunting, it's important to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you a better idea of what you can afford and will help streamline the home-buying process. You'll also be able to make a more competitive offer when you find your dream home. We have some great lending partners, like Tiffany and Alex Ferrando over at Hanover Mortgage, have helped many clients with obtaining great terms on their home mortgages.
Check the Neighborhood
When buying a home, it's important to check out the neighborhood. Drive around the area, visit local shops and restaurants, and check out the local schools. This will give you a better idea of what it's like to live in the area and will help you determine if it's the right fit for you.
Consider Resale Value
While it's important to find a home that fits your current needs, it's also important to consider the resale value. You never know when you'll need to sell your home, so it's important to choose a property that will hold its value over time. This includes things like location, neighborhood, and the condition of the home.
Get a Home Inspection
Before closing on a home, it's important to get a home inspection. This will uncover any potential issues with the property and can help you negotiate on price or repairs. It's important to hire a reputable inspector and to be present during the inspection so you can ask questions and get a better understanding of the home's condition.
