You the Home Buyer
One of the first things to do when you are ready to being the search for a new home is to research mortgage lenders. Be sure to check their fees and services as well as their reputation for diligence, preparation and delivery of loan packages and documents in a timely fashion. This will eliminate unnecessary delays and stress at time of settlement.
Once you have chosen a lender have them prepare for you a letter of prequalification. This will give added weight to any contract you write for your property of choice.
In determining your area of choice you may wish to access school or police reports, check the proximity to points or activities of interest or import to you and your preferred lifestyle. Purchasing ADC map books for the counties in which you are looking can be highly beneficial to you as a resource providing you with information on major routes, places of worship, schools, and parks, etc.
Take the opportunity and time to drive through various areas, subdivisions and neighborhoods to determine which best fits your needs and interests.

For your protection, it’s always advisable to do a home inspection on your selected home of choice. Even if the contract is not contingent upon the home inspection results, it’s good to have one done for informational purposes. In some cases it may also be prudent to do inspections on other specific systems or environmental issues as well. Your REALTOR® should be able to provide you with estimated cost information for any relative inspections.
