Find the right home
Most people feel that going through the Real Estate Classified Section and finding an ad which appeals to them is a good way to find a house. However, there is a better way. This way is to sit down with a Realtor, at absolutely no cost to you and discuss your desires, area preferences, preferred style of home, needed amenities, and everything which is important to your first home. You will then have access to the entire Greater Hudson Valley Multiple Listing Service which covers almost all the properties listed for sale within a specific area. Together, you can leisurely select the homes that you would like to see. By setting up appointments, you can see the homes in a short period of time and have a better idea of what is right for your needs.
A very good suggestion is to jot down notes as you go from one home to the next, and discuss with your Realtor all of your likes and dislikes of each home. Always ask questions as you're touring through each of the homes. And bring up objections you may have to a particular home. Make sure you ask about the community associations, shopping and transportation around the area. Ask specific questions about the construction of the home: electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling systems and so forth.
Pre-qualify for a loan. Shop different banks and loan institutions for the best available mortgage rates and terms. Be as prepared as you can be so that you will be able to buy the home you can actually afford.
When you follow this simple advice, you'll notice immediately how much smoother and more enjoyable the home buying experience will be.
