Buying a home on the South Shore?
Friday, November 11, 2016
First…what can you afford? Get preapproved with a bank; mortgage broker or credit union.
Find out how much of loan you qualify for based on your income, debt and credit score.
Second…pick a real estate agent to help you find the right home, negotiate on your behalf ,
and help you navigate the process. Interview! Find a good fit! (make sure he/she is a reputable agent!)
(DON’T confuse your WANTS with your NEEDS!!)
Many home buyers dismiss homes that perfectly fit their needs in search for one that has their wants.
