Organization is the key to finding
the home or land you want, while spending the least amount
of time and energy.
First, you need to find
out how much house you can afford. Do this before you
go house-hunting. We can refer you to a loan officer who
can help you determine how much of a down payment you
can afford, along with a monthly payment you can handle.
Make a list of everything
you want in a home. Is a master suite important? How many
bathrooms? What about closet space? How about a fireplace
or a bay window? Do you prefer a rambler or multiple-story
house? Are schools or access to transportation important?
Separate the essentials
from the items you could do without and put them on the
"A" list. Prioritize the rest of the items into
a second and third list in order of importance. We'll
help go over the list so that we're very clear on what
you want and need in your home.
Keep good notes as you look
at homes. After a while, it becomes difficult to remember
which features belong to what home. Your agent can provide
you with a form and rating system to help you compare
homes.
When selecting a home, look
beyond cosmetics. Make sure the home is in good physical
condition and that you understand the cost of repairs.
Look at additional homes,
even if you love the first one you see. Many times, it
takes looking at several homes before you find the one
that is really right for you.
Your Windermere agent, will
check with you regularly, even if you haven't found a
house or land that suits your needs. Keeping in contact
with you allows us to establish a good rapport, and learn
how to help you effectively. Your agent will continue
to be on the lookout for homes or land that suits your
needs.
