Finding your dream home is probably the most important purchase you will make in your life. The best way to do this is to get the help of a realtor to make sure the purchase goes as smoothly as possible.
In order to help your realtor find your dream home, you will need to know what you want. In order to tell your realtor what you want, you need to know what you want. In order to find out what you want you need to go over the basic needs and wants in your family and then decide what you need, and what you just want.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
How much room does your family want, or need?
How many rooms and bathrooms do you want or need?
What appliances, amenities, and extras do you want?
What area or neighborhood do you want to live in? Allow for a few miles variance so not to limit your findings.
Did you want a house that was completed, or did you want something that you could fix up your way?
What can you afford?
Did you want to be near a freeway entrance, or a school, or any other businesses that would make your life easier?
After you know what you want and need, you can tell your agent or realtor. This will enable them to find listings through many listing services, homes they are specifically assigned to, and other realtors they know.
Now you can start the process of finding your home. This may take a little time, however given the chance; your realtor will make sure you have plenty of homes to choose from.
Another area that your realtor will make sure that your dream house is not going to be a money pit, is that they will get the completed inspections needed, and they will review them with you. That way you will know the purchase will be made with full knowledge of the homes condition. You will also be made aware of any damages that are irreparable or issues that affect the overall value of the home. This would be like a cracked foundation, or location in a less than favorable area. Including being by a train track, major free way, or dump.
Next your realtor will make sure that the house is listed at a price that is accurate for that home in that area. The way this is done is by reviewing a market analysis. If you have a realtor that knows the area you are looking in, you will find that the realtor will know what you can expect to pay right off the bat, or at least a good estimated price.
Finally your agent will make sure your dream home is yours with all legalities and contracts signed and completed. This is probably the most difficult part of the process of buying a home. Your realtor will make sure that all the fees, charges, and loans are set up correctly and that you will only be charged what is fair.
The relationship you build with your realtor and the trust you install into the business negotiations through your realtor will help you to be able to obtain the best deal on the dream house you want.
