Finding the Right Home
Information for Buyers
Real Estate Agents
You can sit down with a real estate agent and discuss your needs, type of area, style of home, amenities, and everything you really want in your next home. Real estate agents can help you by accessing the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) which covers all properties listed for sale within a specified area. Together, you can select the homes you would like to see, set appointments and preview homes in a short period of time. An agent can guide you through the entire process.
Newspaper Ads/Internet
Many people go through the real estate classified section or browse the Internet to find a home that appeals to them. However, your real estate agent will have many listings available that may not appear in the newspaper or on the Internet on a continuous basis. New listings come on the market daily.
Multiple Listing Service
Your real estate agent should have access to the MLS if it is available in your area. It usually includes the following details about homes and properties for sale:
- Location
- Price
- Photograph(s)
- Utilities
- Amenities
- Annual Property Tax
- Current Financing (when assumable)
- Listing Company
When Previewing a Home
- Write notes when previewing a home so you will be able to discuss the details later with your real estate agent.
- Ask questions about the home and discuss any objections/concerns you may have.
- Ask about the community - schools, shopping & transportation
- Ask specific questions about the construction of the home (electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling systems, etc.)
Have Fun!
Relax. Finding your new home can be a rewarding and exciting experience. Have a good time and enjoy the process.
