First time home buyers may be the ones to bring our our economy back from the edge. They have some great programs they can use to make the home buying experience the best yet.
Over 90% of all home searches today begin on the Internet. With just a few clicks of the mouse, home buyers can search through hundreds of online listings, view virtual tours, and sort through dozens of photographs and aerial shots of neighborhoods and homes. You’ve probably defined your goals and have a pretty good idea of the type of home and neighborhood you want. By the time you reach your real estate agent’s office, you are halfway to home ownership
The maximum number of houses I will show a client in one day is six. After that they all run together and you start to build a house in your head out of three or four parts of separate houses. So eat a good meal, bring your digital camera and a pen and notepad.
Take a picture of the outside of the house as well as inside photos. By having the front first then you’ll know which photos go with which house. Number the houses as you go and put an outside description to prevent any confusion. Have your list of must haves and wants to see how the houses line up. Rate them. Observe the neighborhood is it near shopping, parks and schools or are there large power poles and run down buildings close by.
You should find the home you’re looking for within a couple of weeks with the help of a qualified Realtor. Make sure that you tell them the things that are most important to you and the things you’d like to have to help make the search shorter.
Good hunting!
