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.
