Guidelines To A Finding A Home
The neighbourhood
There are many ways to go
about looking for your new home, but remember,
location is one of the most important components
of real estate value. Families who regret a
purchase decision often tell us they picked the
"wrong" community or neighbourhood.
At this point, forget the
"house". Concentrate first on the
neighbourhood. The following checklist will help:
- Review your
requirements with your "house"
realtor.
- Let them familiarize
you with areas and neighbourhoods.
- While searching, ask
questions about the general real estate
value of certain areas.
- Identify areas that
interest you and are affordable, and
discuss them with your family and
realtor.
- Review your
requirements for schools, churches, and
shopping facilities.
Location is one of the most
important components of real estate value.
Concentrate on the neighbourhood before you look
at the house
Now...The House
When you are ready to look
at specific homes for sale in the neighbourhoods
that interest you, remember the following:
- It is recommended that
you view several homes before you even
consider making an offer.
- Communicate honestly
what your impressions are of the homes as
you see them.
- When you find a
property you like, do a property
comparison to determine the value of
similar homes that have sold in that
area.
Realtors need to know your
honest impressions of the homes you see, so they
can help find the home that's right for you.
The search for your new home is our priority!
Please feel free to ask for any assistance you require.
