1.) Get Pre-Approved.

Some people buy property with cash. But, most will borrow the money. I recommend
calling Shamrock Financial.You will definitely want to see your credit report. The three
major credit bureaus are Experian, Trans-Union, and Equifax. A mortgage calculator will
give you a rough idea of what your monthly investment will be.

2.) Search the Multiple Listing Service.

To begin your property search, you will be searching the MLS. The MLS is a system Real
Estate Agents use to advertise property with other real estate agents and websites.  This
system is super accurate and updated every few minutes.  If your searching for property
you will see ALL the property on the market, and you won't see any that are sold. Click this
link to begin your search. Be sure to enter all specific criteria needed, (number of
bedrooms, lot size, garage, etc).

3.) Drive by the property.

Before requesting a showing, drive by the property. Pictures can be very deceiving. You can
save a lot of time and frustration by doing a quick drive by, and checking out the location of
the property. Please be courteous, and do not disturb the seller if present.

4.) Request a showing.

Now the fun part. If you like what you see, and all your financial ducks are in a row
so to speak, it is time to check out the property. You want to give the seller at least 24
hours notice to make sure the property is ready to show. Even if there is an Open House, it
is a good idea to have your agent let the Listing Broker know you're coming by.

5.) Present an Offer in Writing.

If you like what you see it's time to make an offer. Working with a buyer agent will
cost you nothing, but will save you thousands. Our fee will be paid by the seller at
the time of closing.  We will sit down, negotiate, and handle all the necessary
paperwork needed to purchase the home. Once your offer is accepted, our full
service professionals will handle all aspects of the sale.
