Home Buying Tips for the First Time Home Buyer!
Here are a few tips for the first time home buyer: 
Use a Real Estate Agent: A real estate agent will help you determine how much house you can buy . They have access to many homes that you the home buyer may miss. A good agent will set you up on an automatic email which will give you notice about the newest listings in your price range and area of interest. Your real estate agent is working for you and should always have your best interest in mind.
Meet with a Mortgage Representative: You should know how much home you can buy. What you want to avoid is looking at houses, falling in love with one and then finding out it is out of your price range. Set a budget and discuss that with your representative.
Have an open mind: When looking at homes be sure the homes you are looking at have your basic needs and be open to the other features. If the home has everything you want but needs some cosmetic work, don't automatically discount it, paint is cheap and goes along way in sprucing up a home.
Use a Comparison Checklist: When previewing several homes in one time block, be sure to use a comparison checklist to keep track of the things you like and dislike about each home. This will help you narrow down the ones you want to revisit of have a serious interest in.
Drive by before making an appointment to visit: Your agent should give you a list of the homes that meet your interests. It is best if you drive by them before going inside. Most people by the neighborhood before they buy the home.
This list is only a few of the many things a first time home buyer should do. Stay tuned for more tips to come in future blogs. Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope these tips were helpful.
