STARTING YOUR SEARCH

Now, it is time to start the exciting search for homes! You may want to narrow down your search by asking yourself the following questions:

•      Where do I want to live?

•      What is the neighborhood like?

•      What is the crime rate?

•      Would I be moving into a good school district?

•      Are there any zoning restrictions?

•      How far is this home from my job?

•      What is my price range?

•      How many bedrooms and bathrooms do I want?

•      What style of house am I attracted to?

•      What amenities do I desire (ex. pool, fenced-in yard, etc.)?

•      Does this home have potential to increase in value?

•      Is there room to expand if I would like to build an addition?

Searching for a home is becoming easier than years ago. We now have the Internet as a powerful “home finding tool”, as well as the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and print advertising.

FINDING YOUR HOME

Beginning the search for your new home can be a great feeling. It is important that you directly communicate what you desire in a home to your real estate agent.

You may want to first begin by making a list of the features and benefits that are most important in your pursuit of finding a home. These could be:

•      Location

•      Affordability

•      Size

•      Style

•      Design

•      Amenities

Looking for a home in an area where you feel comfortable is key. Instruct your real estate agent to look in specific areas that you have designated.
