Things you Need to Know Before Buying a Home

  1. Clean up your credit. Get a copy of your reports and make sure everything is accurate. Do what you can to fix any problems you discover
  2. Look at homes that you can afford. The rule of thumb is that you can buy a house that runs about two-and-one-half times your annual salary…use a mortgage calculator for an accurate monthly payment
  3. Research your down payment and loan options – points vs rate, etc,
  4. Get preapproved for a mortgage. This will you save you the grief of looking at houses you can’t afford and put you in a better position to make a serious offer when you do find the right house
  5. Buy in a district with good schools – like Forsyth County!! Even if you don’t have kids. When it comes time to sell, you’ll learn that strong school districts are a top priority for many home buyers, thus helping to boost property values.
  6. Commit for at least a few years or it is not worth it to buy
  7. Hire a good real estate agent – like us!! We can help you find your new home, assist with all the decisions you need to make, we have the tools to evaluate the market for when it comes time to make an offer, we are excellent negotiators, and more!
