You're ready to buy a home ... or almost ready anyway!

1. You have played with a mortgage calculator to get an idea of payment and price relationship.

2. You have looked online for homes to see the style of home and features you like.

3. You have physically explored neighborhoods to discover the areas would fit.

4. You made notes about your wants and needs.  

You need a machanic to fix your car. You need a doctor to fix you.  You need a strong experienced REALTOR to help with your real estate needs. 

Be aware that there are things in your life that are complex.  Finding the right home, negotiating the best offer and getting it to close in one of them.  I have a five point checklist that outlines the issues that must be addressed before looking at homes, including important strategies you need to know before thinking about writing your offer.  You need a REALTOR before the start of your home search. Your REALTOR, his favorite lender, inspector and contractors are invaluable.

So, before you start your search, check-out the Buyer's 5 Point Checklist. Then contact Tom for a FREE consultation.

Note. Working with an inexperienced or discount "virtual agent" that will let you get started without a strategy meeting is just setting yourself up to fail. Thinking that you can just contact a "virtual agent" to negotiate the best deal after you find the home you think you want ... is just flawed.
