These are good tips. I wish I would have known to do research on the home inspector and instead of going with one recommended by my agent.
Finding the right buyer’s agent is critical to any real estate transaction. First time buyers should not go at it alone.
Yes! So true! Finding a Realtor who can point you toward reputable and licensed service providers (loan officer, home inspector, insurance agent) should be the very first step! Have a knowledgable real estate professional with you from the start, to guide you through the steps and be there to answer your questions as they come up! It’s a team effort to smoothly transition to a new home.
I really like your tip about setting priorities like the number of rooms that you might need as well. Something that I would suggest is going to the area of your future home and getting to know what’s around. My husband and I are searching for homes for sale so we want to try and get to know where everything is like grocery stores and schools.
I really like your tip about finding the right home inspector. My husband and I are going to be buying a home in the next few months and we are trying to make sure that we know all that we need to do. I think that these tips will really help us find the hole that we are looking for. Thank you for sharing!
These are some great tips, especially the one about pre-approval letters being able to give you some power to negotiate on a home’s price. When my husband and I were applying for our first home loan we definitely found it helpful to be pre-approved. I will be sharing these home buying tips with my brother and his wife, who are looking into buying their first home.
Setting priorities sounds like a great idea when it comes to looking for potential homes. It would be best to find things that you cannot live without and other things that can be optional. Something else to think about would be to seek help from a realtor to enjoy a more professional experience.
I agree with your statement that home buying is very uncomfortable and stressful process. Your post is good and informative for all buyers who are planning to buy home first time. Thanks for sharing the valuable information, it is really useful for me.
I like what you had to say in this article about real estate agents and what you should know about them when buying a home for the first time. My wife and I are newlyweds and are thinking about buying a home. We had no idea that there are so many different factors that play a part in buying a home such as finding the right home inspector, etc. Thanks for the post!
I like your idea to consider crime rates and insurance rates. Those things will impact your cost of living. I have kids so I’m looking for a good school and a low crime area.
Thanks for the tips for finding a home! My wife and I really want to buy our first home this year, but we have been unsure where we need to start. I like that you mentioned that you should research more than just the home, but the neighborhood as well. School districts and other factors are a big deal to us, so we will take that into consideration.
I really like your tip about making sure that you set priorities and compile a list of what you want/need in your home. My husband and I are going to be buying our first home in the next few months so we will have to keep these tips in mind. We have two little twin boys so we will be sure to check for accommodations for a growing family. Thank you so much for sharing!
I agree that you should come up with a practical price range for your next home on your own. It helps to do this before you even start looking so you don’t set up unrealistic expectation for your home. It’s important that you end up buying a home within your budget so you aren’t stressed financially with your new home.
I really love that you talked about finding a professional home inspector to take a look at the home. Since you never know what might be wrong with a house, it would be nice to have someone come give it a nice look over. Plus, you might find that the house is in perfect condition.
We are looking for a house and want to make sure we find a location where our kids can grow up safe. As you said, it is important to make sure you drive through a neighborhood several times a day to make sure it is the one for you. Personally, I would make sure I consult with an agent I trust in order to get the best options and to learn about the market in order to make an educated decision on the house I want.
I like the tip you gave, to get pre-approved for a mortgage so that you know how much you are able to spend. My husband and I are going to be buying our first home so this is a good place to start. I’ve heard that getting a real estate agent is important, and at what point do we find one to help us? http://www.debbiesamplesells.com/Pages/CypressTXLIinfo.aspx
My husband and I are considering getting our first house, but are curious to know how to go about doing it. I like how you pointed out that one of the first things we need to do is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so that we will be able to put a deal on the house of our dreams. It will be nice to be able to go in and not have to worry about everything falling apart or not getting the one we want.
My husband and I are recently married. We are looking to buy our first home. Thanks for sharing these tips to know what to look for and what to expect. Like you said, we will have to make sure we compile a list of what we need and want in a house. http://www.findhomesinmemphis.com/sellers/default.aspx
My wife and I are thinking about buying a new home but we aren’t sure what to look for. I think choosing a home with a good neighborhood that has quality schools is really important. We want the kids to get a good education so we’ll be sure to make this a priority when looking. Thanks for the help! http://cypresstexasrealestatesite.com/
I liked that you had mentioned that when it comes to house buying that it can be important to seek pre-approval to make sure that you can afford the homes you’re looking at. My wife and I have been wanting to purchase a home for the past year and we think we might finally be to that point. We’ll have to start looking more into pre-approval but once we can get that we’ll be able to fully start the house buying process. http://www.nwflhomesearch.com/Buyers/default.aspx
Thanks for the advice to compare home loans from several lenders to see which one fits my needs. My wife and I are ready to buy a single-family home and start raising a family, so we thought we would start looking into the market of finding a home. As we seek pre-approval, we will be sure to find the right loan for getting a home.
