Be prepared before you start looking and make these decisions early on.
- Choose your REALTOR® (not all agents are REALTORS®), agent associate
- When do I want to buy, what is my time frame,
- are you a CASH BUYER
- Have a letter from your bank or financial broker indicating that the funds are available and where are they coming from,
- will you be getting a MORTGAGE,
- A pre-approval letter is what a seller will require if they are going to take their property off the market while your loan goes through,
- be prepared and know where your share of the mortgage will be coming from,
- Be prepared to negotiate
- Let your REALTOR guide you then take the time to listen after all they know the market in the area,
- Every state is different in their requirements to purchase Real Estate; what worked in one may not apply in the other,
