Home Buying

Of all the decisions you'll face when buying a home, there's none more important than
the person you choose to represent you.

The job of your Real Estate Realtor® is to support you in finding the right home with
the best possible terms, and to aid you through the entire process. Your Real Estate
Realtor® will explain the process of buying a home, and familiarize you with the
various activities, documents and procedures that you will experience throughout the
transaction.

Selecting a Real Estate Realtor®

Your Real Estate Professional should be:

•        Knowledgeable about the communities of interest to you.
•        Aware of the complicated local and state requirements affecting your transaction.
•        Confident in face-to-face negotiations.
•        Highly-trained and skilled in the technology to facilitate a transaction.

Pre-Qualifying

Most real estate professionals and mortgage lenders recommend pre-qualifying for a
loan before selecting a home to purchase. This process will help you:

•        Determine the price range you can afford.
•        Understand the types of loans you qualify for.
•        Determine what your monthly payment will be.
•        Estimate the down payment and closing costs.

Finding the Right Home

There are many factors to consider in selecting a property, including location,
bedroom and bath count, schools and amenities.

Your Real Estate Realtor® will apply his or her extensive community knowledge and
professional resources to research available properties, and show you the homes
that best meet your needs. If you find a property that interests you through the
Internet or your own research, let your Real Estate Realtor® know so that a showing
can be arranged.

As you view different properties, your criteria may change. Open and direct
communication with your Real Estate Realtor® is a key element to a successful
property search.
