Get Pre Approved For A Loan    After you get your finances in order, talk to lenders and mortgage brokers. It’s important to shop around to get the lowest interest and overall best deal possible. Make sure you understand all of the fees involved before diving into any thing. Do NOT allow multiple lenders or services like Lending Tree.com to pull your credit since doing so will actually lower your credit score which could cost you the most competitive interest rates .

Map out your criteria.   Now that you have your finances figured out and are pre approved for a loan, it’s time to begin your search for the home! With a plethora of online home-buying tools at your fingertips, it’s relatively easy to map out different types of homes and neighborhoods and find what is right for you.

 

Make big decisions like urban versus suburban settings, an estimated property size and neighborhood requirements before you start to physically look at properties. This will save time and energy for both you and your agent. Mitch can create very detailed searches that will send you email alerts when places that meet your criteria are posted to your own personal and private website. On your site you can check out all of the details and leave questions or comments for Mitch that will help him refine our your search and make it easier for you to find the perfect place.

 

Start by telling Mitch about what you would love to have in Your First Home.

Take notes.   Once you have found some houses you’re interested in looking at don’t venture out without a pen, paper and camera.

 

Often when searching for a home you are shown many places in the same trip. Keeping track of important details by taking notes and pictures will help you differentiate between the properties later, and help you weed out the homes you were not interested in. It is also a good idea to come with a list of questions ready, and be sure to scope out the neighborhood by driving around for a bit. If you are working with a REALTOR, keep them updated on the parts of town or neighborhoods you are considering. There’s nothing worse than purchasing a house only to find it’s down the block from an extremely noisy or smelly restaurant or industrial plant.

Write that Offer!  When you have found a home or condo that you love don’t wait around.

 

I’ve seen many first-time buyers miss out on a home because they got cold feet and continued shopping around. By the time they realized they weren’t going to find a better fit, someone else had already made an offer! Like the perfect pair of shoes, you will know when you’ve found the right match. Make an offer, and be ready to negotiate.  Once you have decided to write an offer, thoroughly read the contract and make sure you understand everything before you sign.
