Ready to Purchase a Home?
You’re ready to buy - or maybe you're just ready to start seriously thinking about buying. There’s a lot you can do to prepare. With so much information available at your fingertips it can be hard to know where to begin, so here are a few things to help you get started.
Determine a Price Range
Step one is finding out your budget for your new home. The best way to do that is to meet with a mortgage professional who will review your income, assets, and credit history in order to pre-approve you for a loan. Not only does getting pre-approved allow you to narrow your home search, but it also makes your offer stronger when it comes time buy. If you don’t currently have a lender, I would be happy to recommend one.
Make a Wish List
Imagine your ideal home then make a list of everything you envisioned, such as the number of beds/baths, the style of home, and location. Then break that list down into high-priority items you can’t live without and lower-priority things that would be an added bonus.
Start Your Searching
Once you know how much you can afford and what you’re looking for in a home, it’s time to start your search. And the best place to start is online. Ask me about creating an account to save your search on Windermere.com so you’re notified every time something meeting your parameters comes on the market. You can also download my personalized search app, where we can easily communicate and share listings and home tour insights.
Count on Me
I take my responsibility of helping my clients through the buying journey very seriously. I realize this is probably one of the largest financial purchases you’ll ever make, and you can count on me to be your guide, your counselor, and your fiercest advocate every step of the way.
