TIPS ON BUYINGAND SELLING A HOME

By Jan Warren, Howard Hanna andCheryl Nash, Third Federal Savings

Spring is here andyou may be thinkingabout buying orselling a house, orboth! But are youarmed with theknowledge you needto make good deci-sions? Hopefully this

article will give you the information you need to helpmake this process as easy and stress-free as possible.

Your first step should be to get preapproved with areputable lender. Most realtors are going to need thisletter so that they don’t waste your time and theirslooking at houses you can’t afford. This will also makeyour offer stronger to a seller.

Getting preapproved is a relatively easy process. Calldifferent lenders and see who has the product that is bestfor you, whether it’s rates or down payment requirementor both. Be prepared with income documentation and insome cases, account verification.

The majority of realtor would prefer that you use a locallender and that you shy away from doing this over theInternet. This way everyone has an actual person to talkto with questions or status updates on your deal.

Now that you’re preapproved, find a realtor. Use a localrealtor that knows the area in which you’re buying andalso one that is full time so they can give you the attentionyou need. Ask friends for recommendations, if needed.Have a “wish list” ready so your agent will know whatyou’re looking for. As you look at houses, you mayredefine your list to fit your budget. Figure out what youcan live without and what you can’t. When you find theright home, your realtor will help you in making an offerand going through the bartering process.

If you’re selling a house, contact at least one realtor andget a realistic evaluation of your home. Take their adviceon prepping and staging your home so it shows well.Go into this with a realistic view of the marketplace andheed your agent’s advice. They want your house to sell,too! Contact chamber members listed below for all yourreal estate needs.
