What Questions Should I Ask Myself Before Buying A House?
Buying a new home is a weighty decision. Don’t do it alone! We have the experience and resources to not only help you find the home you are looking for, but the ability to close on that house smoothly and with a lot less stress on your part.
I specialize in first-time home buyers, and I understand what a fearful time this can be. I will guide you through each step, one by one, and explain everything thoroughly so you know exactly what is happening and don’t get overwhelmed.
Before you jump into the buying process, here are some things you’ll need to decide on. This will give you clear direction in your search and help me, as your agent, find the right homes for you.
- Have you spoken with a lender and gotten a pre-approval letter to gauge your budget?
- Do you already have money saved for a down payment, or a plan in place to save enough for one?
- Where do you want to live? Do you have specific neighborhoods or communities you want to live in? Do you want to live in a particular school zone?
- Do you want a larger yard, pool, or other specific requirements for the outside of your home?
- What are the minimum and maximum bedrooms and bathrooms you need? Is there a special home layout or style you are looking for?
Why Is Reviewing My Home Preferences With My Realtor Important?
Reviewing your home preferences with your realtor is important because it gives them a better understanding of what you are looking for in a home. This can help them to better match you with properties that fit your criteria, saving you time and energy. Additionally, by providing your realtor with detailed information about important features and amenities you are seeking, they can be on the lookout for potential properties that may not have been listed yet.
To make this process as efficient as possible, I have created a Buyer’s Kit, which can be downloaded and filled out prior to our initial meeting.
Once you have these questions answered and I know exactly what you need (and want) in a home, we can get started! Use our mortgage calculator below to help you find some estimates of what your monthly payments may look like, and contact us when you are ready to start your search!
