Now that you have a loan pre-approval and a solid understanding of what kind of home you are looking for, it is time to start looking at houses. A great way to start this phase of your home search is to look at home listings on the internet. Give your Location Wish List to your Real Estate Agent, so he or she can be sure you are the first to see any new listings that fit your needs. While looking for homes, refer back to your wish list. In addition, we have created a simple-to-use checklist that will help you record the items that you do and don’t like about each property. This tool should make it easier for you to compare homes to each other, and will help your Real Estate Agent focus on your preferences during the home search.
