Finding the Right Home
Real Estate Agents
You can sit down with a real estate
agent and discuss your needs, type of area, style of home,
amenities and everything you really want in your next home.
Real estate agents can help you by accessing a Listing
Service which covers all properties listed for sale within a
specific area. Together, you can select the homes you would
like to see, set appointments and preview homes in a short
period of time. An agent can guide you through the entire
process.
Newspaper Ads/Internet
Many people go through the real estate
classified section or browse the Internet to find a home that
appeals to them. However, your real estate agent will have many
listings available that may not appear in the newspaper or
Internet on a continuous basis. New listings come on the market
daily.
Multiple Listing Service
Your real estate agent should have access to
the multiple listing service if it is available in your area. It
usually includes the following details about homes and properties
for sale:
- Location
- Price
- Photograph
- Utilities
- Amenities
- Annual property tax
- Current financing (when assumable)
- Listing company
When Previewing A Home..
- Write notes when previewing a home so you
will be able to discuss the details later with your real estate
agent.
- Ask questions about the home and discuss
any objections or concerns you may have.
- Ask about the community - schools,
shopping and transportation.
- Ask specific questions about the
construction of the home; electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling
systems, etc.
Have Fun
Relax. Finding your new home can be a
rewarding experience. Have a good time and enjoy the process.
