Successful home buying in Central Ohio takes planning, preparation and expert guidance! The most important steps of the home buying journey begin before you enter the market.
1. Learn about home buying from trusted experts. As Exclusive Buyer’s Brokers, we hold the best interests of our Buyer-Clients above all! We never represent sellers, which allows us to give buyers an unsurpassed level of dedication and service. This means we give you expert advice about home prices, negotiation strategies, contingencies, inspection issues and more.
2. Verify your credit history for accuracy. You can obtain a free credit report from the official website: Annualcreditreport.com. This report shows your personal credit profile, credit accounts and payment habits. If you spot any errors, report them to the bureau for correction.
3. Apply for a mortgage pre-approval. This is the best way to discover your home buying budget. Obtaining a mortgage pre-approval does not commit you to going through with a loan.
4. Consider what you need most in your new home. Keeping priorities in mind will focus your home search, and help you avoid rabbit holes.
5. Be ready to put time and effort into the home search and purchase process. Keep your credit in good shape, too!
6. Respond promptly to messages from your mortgage lender and/or Exclusive Buyer’s Broker. The most desirable homes that are priced right, sell quickly! Skipping a message can mean missing an opportunity.
7. Be flexible where you can. You may have your heart set on a certain Central Ohio community, but there are many homes and neighborhoods worth your consideration! As Exclusive Buyer’s Brokers, we’ll help you evaluate and compare your best options.
Learn how we make a difference for Central Ohio home buyers! Read our free e-book, “How to Buy a Home like a Pro.” You can obtain it directly from our website without any obligation.
As Exclusive Buyer’s Brokers, we serve your best interests at all times! Unlike real estate agents and brokerages who represent sellers, as an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker, we only represent you, the buyer, getting you the best price and terms with no conflict of interest, at all times.
Understanding this distinction could literally save you thousands of dollars not only on the purchase price and terms, but also on seller concessions and home inspection issues, whether you are a first-time homebuyer or an experienced homeowner!
Contact us with your home buying questions! Remember, we are with you every step of the way…all the way home!
