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 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.
