Tips for First-Time Home Buyers
Deciding to purchase your first home is exciting, but you probably also have lots of questions!
Here are some tips for first-time home buyers.
Start by checking your credit score. Good credit is one of the most important factors to qualify for a loan these days.
Before you start looking at houses, you’ll want to know what you can afford – so get pre-approved for a mortgage.
Make a list of features that you’d like to have in a home and categorize them into “must-haves” versus “nice to haves.”
Look online. It’s a great way to get a feel for the market and to compare homes in your price range.
And most importantly, select a REALTOR who will represent you throughout the entire process.
Your REALTOR will advise you, help you negotiate and handle all the paperwork when you’re ready to make an offer.
