tips for getting started
Beginning the search for a new home doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience! Start by prioritizing these three things, and you’ll be well on your way to owning your next home and streamlining your home ownership process.
-
Before you start house-hunting, decide on how much house you can afford. If you will be obtaining a loan, meet with a loan officer to pre-qualify you for your home loan.
If you are selling a home concurrent to purchasing one, discuss logistics with your lender since you may need to alter your home search strategy to account for this timing.
-
Having a clear list of wants and needs for your next home before you start your search will help expedite the house hunting process, and leave you in a good position to make a quick offer when the right home comes along.
-
Taking a drive through different cities and neighborhoods you are interested in will help you determine if an area is the right fit for you, more so than simply viewing the areas online.
