The best place to begin when you have decided to move forward with buying a home is to speak to a lender. Coming to the table with a mortgage pre-approval will help get you the home you want, when you want it. Depending on your situation, we can help you select a lender that will work best for you. It’s important you know what your buying power is before you start looking.
The MLS or Multiple Listing Service shows the available listings for sale in a particular area so that you may search according to your specific needs and criteria.
A good agent or broker should know the market, and they should be able to understand how your wants and needs will play out in that landscape.
If you’re a home buyer and inventory is tight in your area, the agent should address that with you right away. Or, if you’re planning to sell and your ideal asking price is too high, a good agent should warn you that it will take longer to sell.
You want someone who will be frank with you about the hurdles you’ll face. That way, together, you can make a plan to get past them.
Buying a home requires a lot from you, financially, emotionally, and otherwise. Add confusion into the mix, and you’re left with a major headache. By asking a potential buyer’s agent to explain the homebuying process, you learn two key things.
First, you’ll be able to tell if they feel comfortable with the process themselves. If they fumble through, they might not have the experience you want.
Secondly, you learn a lot about their communication style. If they make the process sound complicated and difficult, working with them might be just that. If they can explain things in layman’s terms, you have a good indicator that they’ll be able to communicate clearly with you.
While you want your listing agent to see the good in your house, you also don’t want them looking through rose-colored glasses.
A good agent will see things that could stop your house from selling, whether that’s a front yard that needs a refresh or a loud wallpaper in a specific room. They should be able to help you stage your house to appeal to the widest possible range of buyers so you can land the best offers possible.
