The search is on!      When you have decided to purchase any property there are some basic steps you should take to make the process easier. The first is to seek Pre- Approval from a financial institute of your choice, if acquiring a mortgage is part of your plan. Having an approval letter is not a commitment from a lender, but it does signify the amount of a mortgage you qualify for. Why should this be your first step? Having such a letter in hand gives you power to view many listings that ask for this pre-qualification AND, more importantly, it allows you to set a realistic budget for this purchase. Please contact me if you would like the names of some terrific lenders. Now it's time to start! As you look through the many properties sent to you by your Excellent Agent, or ones you find here on our site, it is our job as your Buyer Agent to gather information that is not readily available on-line. That includes previewing properties of high interest, investigating town ordinances and future plans, and preparing a comparative report of the properties to ensure the asking price is a true relection of the current market.  When you go out to view properties, we will encourage you to not only inspect the home but the whole neighborhood. Are the roads accessible? Is the home of similar value to the surrounding properties? Is there any curb appeal? Does the amount of work to make the house your home outweigh the asking price?
