Useful Tips For House Hunting
Looking for a new home? Use these 6 tips to help make your house hunting experience enjoyable
1
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
How far is the commute? How good are the schools, hospitals, and local services? Keep these questions in mind as you consider areas where you might purchase a home.
2
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
Take the time to write down the home features you must have, the ones you’d like to have, and others you absolutely do not want.
3
GET THE POWER OF PRE-APPROVAL
A pre-qualification letter from a mortgage lender tells you how much you’re qualified to borrow and allows you to shop for homes with confidence.
4
WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHES & SHOES
House-hunting can be exhausting, especially when touring a dozen homes in one day. Dressing for comfort can make looking at the last home as pleasant as the first.
5
BE READY TO MAKE AN OFFER
You should walk into each home prepared to make an offer. If you fall in love with a home on the spot, be ready to make a move.
6
BREATHE & GET SOME PERSPECTIVE
Buying a home is a life-changing event. But it’s not worth driving yourself, or your family, crazy. Trust us. We’ve done this before.
