A Buyer’s Agent is different than a subagent - a Buyer’s Agent works for you, they represent only your interests in all negotiations. A Buyer’s Agent will guide you through the process of finding and buying a home and look out for any possible pitfalls and problems that may arise.
Finding the Right Buyer’s Agent is important. Make sure the person you’re considering has experience working as a Buyer’s Agent and that he or she is familiar with the area in which you are searching for properties.
Borrowing Money is less expensive when interest rates are lower, so you can afford a more expensive house than you could when interest rates are higher.
Investigate your Mortgage Options before beginning your property search. Make sure you understand the difference between loans like a fixed-rate mortgage and an adjustable rate mortgage. Find out what kind of loans are available to you and use a Mortgage Calculator to estimate how much you can reasonably afford to borrow.
Consider getting Pre-Qualified for a loan before finding a home you’re interested in. Pre-Qualified Buyers may have an advantage in the event of multiple offers on a property. Some sellers may only consider offers from a Pre-Qualified Buyer.
Additional tests may be warranted in some cases - Again, a good Buyer’s Agent, and a competent Home Inspector can advise you throughout the process.
