5 New Home Buyer Tips
1. Determine your budget.
You can do this based on several factors including the down payment and mortgage company you decide on. Hidden costs, sometimes forgotten, should be included in the budget too. These hidden costs are maintenance expenses and property taxes.
2. Choose a Lender.
The lender you choose can determine your actual budget for a home based on how much you qualify for. We highly recommend, Samantha Jackson, from Guaranteed Rates.
3. Make a list of wants and needs.
This list will help narrow down options once the house hunting begins. This may also help you decide what is a want versus a need for your home.
4. Choose a real estate agent.
Real estate agents handle all the paperwork, negotiating, filing, phone calls, and research. Their hard work leaves you with just the job of choosing the right home. The agents at i35 Group are all well-equipped to help you find a home that meets a good balance of your wants and needs.
5. Don’t skip the inspection.
There can be unseen structural issues that can be found only through a thorough inspection.
