Our Top 10 Tips for Buyers:
- Be patient. It may take a few false starts and lost bids for you to find the perfect house.
- Make a list of “must haves” but keep an open mind.
- Trust your instincts.
- Find the right Lender as soon as possible. Everyone’s situation is different. Find someone who will lay out all of your options; It is critically important to know where you stand financially before making an offer on a home.
- Pictures can be deceiving. Shopping for homes online is exciting but nothings better than seeing it in person. You may be pleasantly surprised.
- Know your neighborhoods. Even if you don’t know them right away, get to know them. Drive around. At night. Walk the streets. Map out your commute time.
- Do your due diligence. Once under contract, it never hurts to have the property evaluated by “too many” people (inspector, surveyor, engineer, etc)
- There are no dumb questions; so don’t be afraid to ask any.
- Always look in the crawlspace & the attic before making an offer.
- Small changes like paint and finishes can make a big difference, so try to see past the gold formica countertops.
