A home is probably the biggest purchase you’ll ever make. You’ll work with real estate agents, get a mortgage, write purchase offers and counters, do home inspections, and more. Yet it’s true that buyers should allow plenty of time for their home search, especially in markets with a low inventory of homes for sale. Successful home-buying requires a commitment to the process! This includes giving up some nights and weekends to look at homes for sale, and being prepared to take action when you find a suitable property.
Key Takeaways:
- Your lender will examine your income, debts, employment data, credit score, and down payment funds, and calculate mortgage scenarios for you to choose from.
- You can also sign up for automated e-mail alerts, which will notify you when a home matching your criteria comes on the market.
- Remember that your Exclusive Buyer Agent can show you any home for sale, including homes on the Multiple Listing Service, homes For Sale by Owner, and homes for sale directly by home builders.
