First Time Home Buyers (the Basics)

First Time Home Buyers (The Basics)

Here are some of the important things to remember when deciding to buy a home.

1. Get Pre-Approved for a mortgage. This will enable you to know how much you can spend on your home purchase. Know what you need your monthly payment to be BEFORE you fall in love with a home that is just not in the budget.

2. Make a list of Wants Vs. Needs: As you make your list, you will gain a better understanding for what is truly important to you. What is most important to you: School District, price, number of bedrooms, etc. What items are absolute MUSTs and what items can you live without.

3. Find yourself a Realtor: You should find yourself someone to represent you and not the seller. Every home buyer should have their own real estate agent. Find someone that you can trust and work closely with. You will be working with this person for several months at minimum, so make sure that you understand eachother. Certified Buyers Agents (CBR) and Accredited Buyers Agents (ABR) have been trained to reperesent you as a buyer.

4. Get a real estate attorney: You should have someone in mind and maybe even speak to him or her and let them know you are beginning your search. You will need an attorney when it comes time to go to contract.

5. Research for Home inspector: Get some ideas on who you might use for your home inspection. You will want to have this person ready as you will need to move quickly once you have an accepted offer on a property.

6. Search for a home with your Realtor

7. Make an offer on a property

Once you have an accepted offer, you will have your home inspection and then go to contract.

Price to SELL

Once you have decided to sell your home, wheather you are selling your home in Stonybrook , Setauket, Port Jefferson, you want to put it on the MARKET, get OFFERS, and SELL and you want it to accomplish this as quickly as possible. The key is to “position” your property so that it is desirable; attractive to buyers in the market place, & competitive; so that it competes well when compared to other similar homes in the area. OVER PRICED HOMES:  When a home is “Listed” above what the buyers are willing to pay and what banks are going to appraise it for, we are just wasting our time.  We wind up with: A home that sits on the market, has minimal offers and ultimately never sells.  Disappointed sellers: the inflated price set the stage with a false sense of hope that they may get “$$$” for their home. The best way to avoid all the disappointment is to market the home competitively from the very beginning.  Below are some pointers for you to consider.               Have an agent do a comparative market analysis of your home (CMA) This will give you a demonstration of what other buyers paid for homes similar to yours. The agent will make adjusts up or down depending on the amenities of your specific home. Get a bank appraisal to find out exactly what the bank determines your property to be worth. (If your home does not appraise for what you are asking, or even what someone is willing to pay, it will be very difficult for the prospected buyer to obtain a mortgage on the property)  Having a bank appraisal is fairly inexpensive when considering how much time you can/will save.  And everyone knows what they say;      “timing is everything”  & “time is money”
