Your real estate agent will help you hunt for houses within your budget. When working with Theresa, she sends out a form to fill out that will ask you things that are important in your new home, some of which might depend on whether you’re looking for a started home (one you’ll be in for a couple years or so) or forever home (one you can picture yourself in for a long time).

Here are some things you might want to consider when shopping for a house,

• Price

• Square footage

• Home condition and possible need for repairs

• Access to public transportation

• Number of bedrooms

• Backyard/swimming pool

• Local entertainment options

• Local school district ranking

• Property value trends

• Property/real estate taxes

Your agent will then show you homes that fit your criteria. You may need to spend some time searching for the perfect home, so don’t get discouraged if your hunt takes longer than you expected. Its important to get in homes that you love right away!!!! Homes are selling very fast, make sure your agent makes it a priority to get you in. Theresa has “back up” realtors that jump in if her day is already full of clients. This ensures you never miss out on a showing.

Only you can decide which property is right for you. Once you find a property you like that fits your needs and budget, it’s time to make an offer.
