Buyers

Buying a home is a big step! Whether you’re buying your first home, your dream home, or your tenth investment property, yours will be a big investment.

Preparing to buy a home

Finding the perfect property is just one way we can help you with your real estate purchase. Here are some steps to take in the home buying process:

Checking the area: Make sure you can commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years. When looking at areas of interest take into consideration your job and commute time, school district, distance from loved ones and any other factors that are important to you.

Credit score: Credit history is essential when looking to buy a house, and fixing any inaccuracies on your credit report before you start is the best way to ensure that process goes smoothly. Ask your lender for a copy of your credit report, and make any necessary amendments. If there are any errors or omissions on your report, don’t hesitate to contact the reporting agency and ask them to correct them.

Evaluate your financial situation: Aiming for a house that you can afford is the rule of thumb when it comes to buying a home. The real estate market is always changing, and prices can go up or down quickly. So, it’s important to have an idea of what price range you are comfortable with before getting pre-approved by a lender.

Work with a professional real estate agent: Working with a professional real estate agent can make your home buying or selling process easier and more affordable. A good real estate agent will have years of experience in the industry, know the local market trends, and be up-to-date on all the latest changes. Armed with this information, they can help you find the perfect home or property quickly and easily.

Do your research: When buying or selling a home, it’s important to use market data to make an informed decision. That includes understanding what price range homes in your neighborhood are selling for, and basing your offer on that information.

Work with a home inspector: Hiring your own home inspector is a wise decision if you are planning to buy a property. An engineer with experience in doing home surveys can help identify any potential problems with the property before you even sign on the dotted line. This will save you time and money down the road, as repairs may be required.
