Looking
for a home
Use a Realtor.
Use an agent that is representing your interests
by getting a written "agency" agreement stating that
they are acting as a "buyer’s agent" for you.
Pre-qualify for a loan.
Get
an idea of what you can borrow so you don’t
waste your time shopping for homes you can’t
afford.
Most lenders can do this for you. (Make sure the
only up-front fee you pay is for your credit report
and do not obligate yourself to the lender in any
way.)
Do not look at the most expensive home in the neighborhood. It’s
best to have the other homes bring up the value of your home.
