Ten Things to Take the Fear Out of Buying!
- Find a real estate agent that is not only skilled, but a good fit with your personality.
- If you find a home now, don’t second-guess your decision. A good home won’t stay on the market long.
- Don’t ask for too many opinions. It's your decision based on your needs and wants.
- Accept that no house is ever perfect.
- Be a fair negotiator. Getting the best deal is important, but getting the house you want is more important.
- Consider all the factors including location, life style, and things that will make you happy.
- Be armed with an existing mortgage approval.
- Consider maintenance and repair costs in your home buying budget.
- Don't get overwhelmed. Your agent should help you handle the stress.
- Choose a home first because you love it, not because it may yield a great price later.
