There is a rule that I have when taking someone out to look at properties. It is easy to understand and I insist on it as a Buyers Agent. Very simply, the prospective buyer must have their pre-approval. He/She will need to have talked with someone in Mortgage, filled out the necessary paperwork, had a credit check and then a letter that states their approval. Again, I insist on this for a variety of reasons that we won't go in to within this post!
Once you have your approval, there are many other useful tools that you should take advantage of: For example, you need a current, UP TO DATE WEBSITE to find existing MLS Listings. Additionally, you should be reading on the subject of PURCHASING YOUR NEXT HOME and something else I thought of today is really quite essential. You need a good PAYMENT CALCULATOR.
If you are shopping for a home in Northern Virginia, feel free to use any of the above resources and I promise, you will not be hounded or spammed. Furthermore, any information you share will not be given to any third party.
Remember, knowledge is power when endeavoring to buy or sell Real Estate. When you are ready to make your next MOVE, please WRITE or PHONE me.
