bryan college station home sale: 6 Steps to Homeownership - Step 1: Hire a Realtor - 03/29/11 03:21 AM
I have written many articles on buying a home, some in great detail, some focusing on a particular section of the home buying process and some that list all the advantages of owning a home.
However, I realized that some home buyers just want a basic overview of the primary home buying steps. So I have narrowed the list down to 6 main functions. These steps by no means represent all of the important stages in the home purchase process but they are an overview of some of the things that need to be done.

bryan college station home sale: Why do buyers need to be pre-qualified before they look at homes? - 02/26/11 06:13 AM
Whenever I receive a phone call or visit with a buyer for the first time, one of the questions that I always ask is "Have you looked into financing a home yet?"
Sometimes the answer is "Yes, I'm working with such-a-such bank or so-and-so lender and I have a pre-qualification letter." but more often than not the answer is in any one of the following forms:
"No, Do I need to right now?"
"No but I just want to look at some houses first."
"No because until I find the right house, I don't know how much I need to borrow."
