7 Things Raleigh Home Buyers Should Know

1. A Raleigh REALTOR can show you almost any home for sale in Raleigh ~ whether it is listed with a different company, a new construction home, or even a For Sale by Owner.

2. Almost all offers to buy a home in Raleigh require that a pre-qualification letter from a lender be submitted with the offer. Get a pre-qualification letter before you start looking. Don't wait until you find the home you love.

Get the required paperwork in order before you start to look. Ed and Erin can help you in obtaining that paperwork.

3. When you are looking at A Raleigh New Construction Home remember that the on-site agent often works for the builder. It does not cost you more to use a Realtor to represent you in the new construction home buying process.

Using a Realtor when buying a new construction home means you have somebody on your side to represent YOUR best interests not the builder's!

4. Property taxes and qualified home interest are usually a deductible expense on an individual's income tax return.

5. Think of a home as part of an interconnected unit ~ look at all the aspects including amenities, distance from work, noise level, drive time, things outside the home that are important to the quality of life in the home.

6. Realize that no Raleigh home will be absolutely perfect. Think of the things that are "must haves" for you and let the rest be more fluid (it would be nice but it is not a deal breaker).

7. Enjoy the process!! Pick a Realtor your trust and like and let him or her do the heavy lifting. Take pictures of you on your "search". Be silly, laugh, hug each other. You probably will not buy a ton of homes in your life. Enjoy the process of buying this one.
