Home Buying Pro Tips

#1: Get the lay of the land and drop by morning, noon and night.
#2: Your opening bid should be based on: what you can afford, and what you really believe the property is worth.
#3: Would you buy a car without checking under the hood? Of course you wouldn’t. Hire a home inspector.
#4: Buying a house based on emotions is just going to break your heart.
#5: Most people just focus on their mortgage payment, but they also need to be aware of the other expenses.
#6: Everyone’s drawn to the biggest, most beautiful house on the block. But bigger is usually not better when it comes to houses.
# 7: Don’t obsess with trying to figure out when is the best time to buy. Trying to anticipate the housing market is impossible.
#8: It’s absolutely essential to get a survey done on your property so you know exactly what you’re buying.
#9: There’s a big difference between a buyer being pre-qualified and a buyer who has a pre-approved mortgage.
#10: It’s not wise to make any huge purchases or move your money around three to six months before buying a new home.
