Know These Facts Before House Hunting

In this highly competitive real estate market, it is important to work with an agent who has experience. A good agent can advise you from the beginning of the process on where to begin by getting a pre-approval letter (proof of funds to close) to providing knowledge on current home values and trends within the market that interests you. Knowing these facts before you begin house hunting will make the process run smoothly.

A Good Agent Is Essential

The first step is to find an agent, who has experience and is trustworthy.  A reliable agent helps to ensure that the buying process moves smoothly and advises you on everything from making an offer to closing.

Location Is Very Important 

Your agent will help you to research an area or neighborhood before you consider moving there. You should get a sense of what it is like living there and what to expect for resale.  A reliable agent wants to help you to make an investment.

The Home Inspection Is Crucial

The home inspection and inspector are essential for discovering defects in the home that may cost you dearly in the future. Your agent will help to choose a reputable inspector, who can find and explain issues affecting the home.

Your Choice of Lender is Important

Your real estate agent can help to choose a reputable lender with a proven track record.  This is critical to a successful closing. The lender must be able to focus on the time line of the loan to get the loan closed within the expected timeframe.
