Deciding to Buy
Preparing to Buy
Choose a Real Estate Agent
Time to go Shopping
Escrow Inspections and Appraisals
Moving In
Once those preparations are out of the way, it is time to find the right property for you.
Take a Drive.
Get to know the neighborhoods, complexes, or subdivisions, which interest you. Drive around to get a feel for what it would be like to live in that area and available properties.
Narrow Your Search.
Select a few properties that interest you the most and have your real estate agent make appointments to visit them. Talk to your agent about the potential long-term resale value of the properties you are considering and anything else you may want to take into consideration.
Time to Buy.
Once you pick out the property you would like to purchase, your real estate agent will help you draft a competitive offer, as well as investigate the potential expenses associated with the new property.
