Anyone can make an offer. Serious buyers need to maximize power by being informed. 1. Consider your needs: - What kind of property do you need/want?
- Will this be your primary residence or an investment?
- Are you willing to invest in a house that needs a lot of work, or do you want something that's move-in condition?
- What locations are you interested in, and why?
- What do you know about these areas?
2. Get qualified first - "What can I afford?" is a question to answer before you make an offer. Pre-qualifying for mortgage can give you an important advantage against other buyers. It's important to work with a Lending person you trust to determine your buying power. Click here for a Mortgage Calculator 3. Find an agent - Work with a full time agent who makes their living in the market. Too many agents are not full time, don’t see property on a daily basis and are not current with the market. Listen to your agent! They need to respect your request, but if they are cautioning you about pitfalls, listen to their concerns. Some of the most competent Realtors bring their clients to our office to discuss the offer process. This allows the client to hear firsthand, what can make their offer successful.
