Here are six of the most essential home buying tips!
Get a Home Inspection! Seriously, don't skip it! Evaluating the overall condition of a home is key before purchasing it. What if there is termite damage that requires thousands? Or mold? It's good to know these things as soon as possible.
Before doing anything, and we mean anything - get pre-approved. Getting pre-approved really makes the home buying process more strategic because as a buyer, you know what you can actually spend. This also helps save sadness or frustration over falling in love with a home outside of budget.
When buying a home it's key to utilize your agent! This is afterall, their job. So! It's imperative to use them for all communications and guidance. This can really streamline the process and make it as stress free as possible.
When it comes to buying a home - don't take anyone's word for it! Get everything in writing. Why? Because verbal agreements mean nothing and don't have to be kept. If a seller says something; make sure it gets written down.
When writing an offer (exciting!) be sure to include contingencies. This is important as to a) expedite the process and also b) be upfront and make sure your wants as a buyer are addressed.
Last but not least, make a wishlist! Aim for keeping it realistic, but a wishlist can help you and your agent find the right home for you!
