So you just read our "Going, Going, Gone" post and you are thinking, "That's horrible. I don't want that to happen to me". Here's how to avoid losing the house of your dreams...
1. Go to your lender - find out what you are qualified for. While it is super fun to go looking at houses all day, you don't want to fall in love with something you can't afford.
2. Find a Realtor - if you already know someone, that's great, you're one step ahead. If not, do a little homework on someone you may have heard of and think you want to work with. Don't be afraid to "interview" your potential Realtor. Buying a home is a very emotional experience so you want to work with someone you are compatible with.
3. Do you own research - your Realtor can give you plenty of homes to look at in your price range, but are they REALLY what you want? Things to think about: how many bedrooms and bathrooms, one store or two or more, swimming pool, basement, lot size. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
If you are thinking of buying a home in the Phoenix Metro Area, give us a call, we would be happy to be interviewed. Happy Hunting!
