Things to check when buying a home.

Tip #1

When you’re thinking about buying a home, the first thing to do would be to sit down with a qualified lender.  Your lender will be able to check your credit score and your financial information to give you a solid feel of what your options are and how much money you could really spend to purchase a home, without putting yourself in the position where the home owns you instead you owning it.

Tip #2

The very next important thing to do is plan. You should evaluate what you want and what you need. A good way to do that is to get a piece of paper and write your wants and needs.

Tip #3

You would need to pick the right Realtor that’s going to look out for your best interests, who’s going to be asking the right questions for you and your family, who’s going to help you walk away from a house that you are getting too excited about and need to get away from. You do not want a Realtor who is all about sells because they will just put you in a house to get a quick commission. So if you feel that your Realtor is more of a sales man and all the Realtor wants to do is sell, sell, sell then you've got with the wrong Realtor. Get a new one.

Tip #4

Do your homework. Make sure your home is inspected by a qualified inspector, make sure that the termite inspection is done and drive through the neighborhood on the weekend to check it out yourself. You’d want to check the neighborhood to check whether or not the environment is right for you and your family.

Tip #5

Manage your expectations. Realize that some things are going to have hiccups and are going to have peaks to a home.
