So you have carefully considered whether or not it’s the right time for you to move forward with purchasing a new home. You have decided yes! Yes, you are ready to enjoy the flexibility of being a home owner, yes, you are looking forward to potential tax savings, and yes you would rather your monthly housing expense become a contribution to an asset that is likely to appreciate instead of just being a rent payment.
Avoid the temptation of going it alone. Don’t underestimate the time, energy, research, and expertise needed for a successful real estate closing. The seller will most likely have an agent that is working in their best interest, so why should you go it alone? Having the right Nashville real estate agent representing your best interest will result in a better experience for you.
When choosing your Middle Tennessee real estate professional keep these things in mind:
Once you reach out to the real estate professional, the real estate professional will most likely schedule an in office consultation with you to introduce him or herself and to learn more about you and the needs and interest of your family. Be sure to be open and ask questions and express concerns that are important to you upfront.
If you have not already spoken with a mortgage professional to get pre-approved you will be encouraged to do so. Unless you are paying cash for your new home, getting approved for a mortgage is a critical step. You will get a realistic expectation of the amount of house you can be approved for and the costs associated with acquiring your new home. You will also learn if there is down payment assistance available for you.
Once you have the green light from the mortgage professional, your real estate agent will be working closely with you to help you find the best housing suitable for you and your family.
