Here are 5 tips to make your next home buying process go as smoothly as possible.
- First let’s start with getting your finances in order:
Get a full report of your credit and score/rating. Have copies of your credit report for your records. Make sure the report is correct, and let’s fix any problems you may find. Next, I will introduce you to a lender if you do not have one and get you pre-approved for a loan. This will put you in a better position to make a serious offer when we do find the right house that meets your needs.
- Find a home for sale that fits your budget:
When it comes to buying your next home, there are also a number of tools and calculators online that can help you understand how your income, debt, and expenses affect what you can afford. Also don’t forget, too, that there are lots of considerations beyond just the home price; including property taxes, insurance, utilities and energy costs, etc., all of which you will learn about during the home buying process.
- Why you should hire Beverley with the GCBL Real Estate Team:
While the Internet gives buyers unprecedented access to home listings and resources, many aspects of the buying process require a level of expertise that you can’t pick up from surfing the web. That’s why you’re better off using a professional agent than going it alone. If possible, recruit an exclusive buyer’s agent, who will have your interests at heart and can help you with strategies during the bidding process. And the GCBL Real Estate Team is a proven group of experienced real estate agents who will have your interests covered. We’ve got your back!
- Doing your homework is important:
Before making an offer, do some research to determine the general state of your local real estate market. Is it more favorable for sellers or buyers? Next, look at the sales trends of similar homes in the area or neighborhood and recent sales in your area. We can get you all of the detailed information you need to move forward with confidence in your home buying decision. Come up with an asking price that’s competitive, but also realistic. Otherwise, you may end up alienating your potential seller.
- Think long term when buying your next home:
Obviously, you shouldn’t buy unless you’re sure you’ll be staying put for at least a few years. Beyond that, you should buy in a neighborhood with good schools in an area you like. Whether you have children or not, this will have an impact on your new home’s resale value down the road. When it comes to the house itself, you should hire your own home inspector, who can point out potential problems that could require costly repairs in the future. I can help with all of these details and more. The GCBL Real Estate Team is your preferred professional to guide you through this complicated process. The GCBL Team –Professional. Trusted. Innovative.
