Stress Free Home Buying Secrets
Groundwork
Gather all your financial paperwork – bank statements, credit card statements, pay stubs, and loan documents. Your mortgage professional will want to see all your financial documents when making your loan application.
Choose Your Realtor
Sign a Buyer Agency agreement with your realtor. Make sure you choose an experienced local realtor that you are comfortable with. The relationship with your realtor is an important one. They will guide you through finding the right home and completing the purchase.
Communicate Openly
Communicate with your agent. Let your agent know what you like and don’t like about the properties you see. Ask questions if you don’t understand something. Communicate openly and freely about your real estate needs.
Be Patient
Finding the right fit may take some time, but you have done the groundwork and are ready to move decisively when you find it.
Be Flexible
Be flexible with your ‘want’ list. No property will be perfect, so be willing to give and take on certain things. Find the one that will fit most of your needs.
