Narrow the home search based on how much you can afford. Make an idea of the features you “want” versus “need” in your new home. You can discuss the pros and cons of each house with your realtor who has a good knowledge and experience. Don’t hesitate in asking questions from the realtor. Visit the open house that includes personal tour for sale to get a first-hand view of the home and property. You should list down all the important features to you including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, garden, fireplace, yard and/or garage. Does the house need any repairs or not? When you find a home you want to buy, you will make the seller an offer in the writing. When you make an offer, you should specify the price that you are willing to pay, but also the other details of purchase such as following: - How you intend to finance the home - Amount of down payment - What inspections will be performed - The payment of closing costs - Terms of cancellations The seller is required to provide the clean title to property at closing. The mortgage lender representative and real estate attorney/legal counsel can help you make sure all the documents are well provided.
