 Woodbridge,Virginia Home Buyer say's, " Home Buying Looks Confusing"
 
          Buying a Home can be confusing but it does not need to be.
 
 When buying a home you have a few choices on how you want to go about it
You can try to buy on your own FSBO (warning can lead to frustration) You can use Zillow and Truilla and run around to Open Houses then find 
someone to help when you think you have found the home (not recommended) Or you can align yourself from the start with a buyer agent who will guide you through the process step by step.
