Equal Housing Opportunity
Buyer's Guide:
Finding and purchasing a home that will meet your needs now and in the years to come is a significant and often stressful time. My goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. Here are some tips to follow to make your search seamless.
Getting Started
Before you start looking for a home
you should ask yourself a few questions:
|
| 1. Where do you want to live? |
| 2. Do you want to be close to schools, shopping or work? |
| 3. What kind of house would you like (need)? |
| 4. Are you looking for a particular style? |
| 5. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want? |
| 6. Do you want a yard? |
| 7. How much house can you afford? |
| 8. Have you consulted a Realtor® or mortgage lender to determine the size of the mortgage you would qualify for? |
Here are a few organization tips:
Pull a credit report on yourself and make sure the information is accurate.
If you find any errors take steps to correct them immediately.
Browse through real estate ads in the newspaper and here on JenniferHixon.com.This will give you an idea of the types of homes on the market and what they cost.
Visit open houses on the weekend. It doesn't cost anything to look, and looking at a few different homes might give you ideas for things you'd like in a house but haven't considered.
Start saving money - you'll need to have cash on hand for a down payment and closing costs.
Don't incur any additional debt. Pay down your credit cards - and don't apply for any new ones. Don't make any major purchases on credit - buy the furniture or car later.
Contact Jen Hixon. I can help you determine how much you can afford and provide you with information on homes that may interest you. I will also help you complete all of the necessary forms when it comes time to make an offer.
