10 Real Estate Tips for Homebuyers

Make a new home wish list: Whether you are researching online, going to open houses or using a real estate agent, keep a list of what you would most like in a new home and prioritize it so you can determine what is most important to you and your family. If using a real estate agent ensure they know your requirements so they only show you relevant homes.

Create a realistic timeline for your move: How long do you have to buy your home?  How long do you want to look at new homes before purchasing? Keep in mind it will take some time to secure your mortgage and close on the home when creating your time line.

Learn about your mortgage financing options: There are many different options when retaining a mortgage. Look carefully at all of your choices and find the one that is best for you.Find a neighborhood before the home: A great home in an undesirable neighborhood is not very good for your quality of life or the home value. Learn as much as you can about the neighborhood and make sure your the area meets your needs. Centerline Homes has many neighborhoods in the most desirable areas throughout Florida

Keep a camera handy and take plenty of pictures: When looking for a new home and looking at several properties it can be hard to remember your likes and dislikes for each property. Having a digital camera when looking at properties will be helpful when you get home to review what you have seen. 

Be prepared to preview new home listings fast: A property gets the most attention when it is first listed. Be prepared to visit these new home listings when they are first listed before they are gone.

Go back and revisit your top choices a second time: Buying a home is one of the biggest purchase decisions you will ever make. After you narrowed it down go back a second time to look at the home(s) you're most interested in. Drive around the neighborhood and make sure that the area offers what you need.

Minimize or eliminate contingencies: When making an offer on a new home try to minimize any contingencies when placing an offer on the property. Home sellers are more likely to take an offer that does not contain a lot of contingencies.

Know when to walk away (or run): Use reason rather than emotion otherwise you may end up paying too much money and may have buyer's remorse. Often times there may be more than one interested buyer in a new home and you start a bidding war on the home.

Choose a local Realtor that is easily accessible: If you decide to use a buyer's agent be sure they are easily accessible and willing to take your calls, emails, and even social media touch points.
