Forge a relationship with your Realtor

You and your agent should agree to shop for homes together, as partners. Use the same system your agent uses, and develop a means of communication that allows you to share information about and evaluate homes that are on the market. That way, if he or she finds out about a new listing, you can get a call, an e-mail, or an instant message that alerts you to it. At the same time, if you discover a listing you like, you can pass it along for your agent to evaluate. It’s important to develop this relationship!

What happens next is a function of the marketplace in your area. In many markets today there is a huge inventory so you and your agent will have a lot to choose from. You can review all of the existing listings that meet your criteria, then narrow down the list to the best ones. Then you can arrange to see them and, if one happens to strike your fancy, you can make an offer on it.

With so many homes for sale available in the overall marketplace today, it is inconceivable not to find one that you like. If you can’t, you are probably being too picky. And that indicates that you’re not committed to buy—a surefire way to turn off a good agent. Nevertheless, if you happen to live somewhere that the real estate market is particularly strong, you can ask your agent to use the multiple listing service (MLS) database, which will alert you when a home meeting your designated needs enters the marketplace.

Remember, too, that there are other buyers out there competing for housing. When you find the right home, be prepared to move quickly.
