Hello Neighbors!
The way that you can shop for a home has changed a lot in the last
several years. You can now do the majority of your house shopping online. This
includes getting pre-qualified for a loan, picking the top five homes you want
to look at in your area, and finding a real-estate agent. When you visit
real-estate website you will want to look for one that has comprehensive
listings of the homes in your desired area and appears to have a good contact
number or email address so that you can set up home showings of the homes that
you are interested in looking at.
The
Plenty of One
When looking for a comprehensive site that will enable you
to find your perfect home you will want to be careful that you do not sign up
for too many services. This can bog down the whole process and create confusion
when you are trying to talk to too many agents and answer a flood of emails
from different realtors about the same property. Find a site that meets your
needs and expectations and then see if the agent or group of agents that are
associated with the site meet your needs and expectations. Once you decide on a
site and an agent, stick with them.
Find
the Perfect Combo
When you find the perfect combo of site and agent, you can
enter your home specifications into their site and wait for the emails that
will come to you of homes that meet those specs. You can browse through the
site and save your favorite homes. You will then be notified if the price
changes or if the house becomes unavailable. These agents usually are able to
work with a large pool of lenders that can help you get the financing you need
to purchase the home that you love. It is best to run the numbers on your own
as well. Know exactly what you can afford and do not go over that amount even
if you qualify for a bigger loan.
Less
is More
Finding the perfect home is easier than ever. The best advice is to
take a “less is more” approach when using the Internet as your main tool. Visit sites until you find the best
match for you. The rest is a cinch.
