TIP # 1 ~ Choose your loan first, then buy your house!
How much house can you really buy? How much will you need down? Can you get some of your down payment money back for new paint and carpet or appliances?
What if you settle for a house that is less than perfect, because you thought you could not buy a better one. Then you find a lender who could have lent you more money? What if you could have bought more house for the same low monthly payment amount?
What happens if you fall in love with a house you can't afford? No fun! It's too late if you shop for your loan before you choose your house. This is why smart buyers get PRE-APPROVED by a lender before they find their house.
TIP # 2 ~ Get Professional Help from Real Estate Agents and Home Inspectors.
Buying A Home can be exciting. It can also be confusing, overwhelming, and time consuming. Professional help is available to help you avoid costly mistakes and save time when buying a home. Some professional helpers will charge for their services and some will not. Real Estate Agents work for buyers for free. Spend 20 Minutes with an agent and you can get a list of houses that meet your needs. This can save you several hours with ads and newspapers, or several days of driving around. Home inspectors can help you avoid getting stuck with hidden defects. Make the best use of each professional according to your need.
TIP # 3 ~ Use A Buyer's Agent and NOT a Sellers Agent
When you call the agent on the sign, or listed in the ad, you get an agent who works against you, for the seller's benefit. That's not fair. That agent has more experience with the paperwork and the process than you do. Call a Buyer's Agent first. Then, when you see a house and you want to know how much, or when you can see it, you call your Buyer's Agent. Don't have an agent?

Real Estate Agents are paid by sellers. Buyer Services cost nothing. Buyer Representation can save you thousands of dollars and many days or weeks of time spent house hunting. You deserve somebody on your side when negotiating with a seller's agent. You should never let the seller's agent handle your side of the transaction. To Find Your Dream Home and buy it for less, don't call the name on the sign or the phone number in the ad. Those agents work for sellers, not buyers. Instead, call Lonn Dugan, Agent, The American Dream Team at Masters Real Estate Network ~ 419-654-5666
