Home Buying Tips


  • A "Buyer's Wish List" customizes a home search.  The Multiple Listing Service provides me with up-to-the-minute listings that most closely match your desires and needs.

 

  • Fine-tune your credit rating before applying for a loan.  Cancel unused credit cards, hold off on any major credit purchases, consolidate loans.

 

  • Pre-qualify for your mortgage BEFORE you begin your home search.  Pre-qualified buyers know what they can afford, speed up the loan process and are more appealing to sellers.  Call me to help you with the pre-qualification process.

 

  • Purchasing a home through a real estate professional generally costs you nothing, as most sellers pay the fee.  That's why it's a win-win situation.  The owner gets a buyer, and you get professional assistance at no cost to you. 

 

  • There are many details which should be factored into making an offer on a home.  Writing the offer incorrectly could cost you thousands of dollars on appliances, services or other attached indoor and outdoor items that you "assumed" were part of the home.

 

  • Select a community that will allow you to best live your daily life.  Some families may prefer access to schools, shopping, public transportation and local facilities.  Others may prefer the peace and quiet of a rural community.

 

  • Paying for a qualified home inspection could save you thousands of dollars in future repairs.  This is a small investment to make for the biggest purchase of your life.

 

  • Don't worry if you do not have the usual 20% down payment.  Many lenders offer low interest mortgages with as little as 3% down.  Don't let the "20% rule" prevent you from pursuing the many advantages of home ownership.
