First, it is a great idea to make sure you have your financing in place prior to making an offer. Some folks prefer to begin the search first, then if something is found move forward with the financing aspect. The correct way to begin the process is to have your financing in place first, that way when you find the home you are interested in there are no delays or issues that may arise and cause a missed opportunity. Another way to think about this is to make sure the search you have created fits the budget that has been set. Many home buyers know what they are comfortable with in terms of monthly expenditure for their housing needs. Having financing in place prior to a property search allows you to make sure any search done fits the parameters of the financing budget you have set. No sense looking at homes over budget, right? If you don’t have a lender, ask your realtor to recommend one for you. Most realtors have worked with lenders that they would be happy to recommend because they do their jobs well.
Second thing to consider is working with a good, and qualified realtor. Several things to consider when looking for the best realtor to fit your needs. On many polls conducted, it appears that communication is a must for a good realtor. Does your realtor call you back within a reasonable amount of time? Does your realtor answer their phone more often than not? Do they explain your options and right? Experience is also a good indicator of a qualified realtor. Ask potential agents you are working with how many homes they have sold? How many homes in the area? Also mixed into this one can request the agent explain what is going on in the real estate market in general, and in a given area of interest? For example, you home buyers looking and considering Laveen Az homes, you’d want to have a good understanding of the real estate market in Laveen Az, right? So agent should be able to explain the current real estate trends, the month’s inventory, and overall direction the market is heading. This is VERY important to buyers looking at Laveen Az homes, because it helps you with making your offers. As they say, knowledge is power, and an agent with the knowledge gives the buyer the power to make right decisions.
Third, you’ve selected a realtor so be sure to use your realtor to help explain the home values and the current state of the market. It has been touched on before, but let’s look at this more deeply. You’ve found a home, and now you must make on offer on the home. What do you offer on the home? Do you give them list price? Do you have the ability to ask for concessions? Knowing what the current fair market value on the home is will help determine what you can offer on the home, and if you may be able to get seller concessions. Also, was the home priced aggressively and are there several interested parties for the home, or are you the only interested party to purchase? Will the home appraise at offer price. Yes, many questions, but these are all things that a realtor will be able to help you understand. Knowing the market and values will ensure you make the best deal on your Laveen Az home.
