Buying a Home in Virginia Beach, Va.

Many people are intimidated with the relatively complex process of buying a home. Actually the process is very simple when we fully understand each step of the process.  What I will do here is break what appears to be a complex process into bite size chunks so that each bite is easily digestible.

When I am finished, I hope to convince you that your dream home is just a few steps away and really not so difficult after all.

Step One:

Ok. Let’s get started. It really is not necessary to join up with a Realtor at this point.  However it is crucial to find out what you can afford to buy. So based on that, lets look for a dependable Mortgage officer right away. It wastes everyone’s time if you begin by searching for a home that you cannot afford to buy.

One of the thing you will want to do is decide whether you will be buying a new home or a resale home.  Each has both advantages and disadvantages so its critical that you understand the ups and downs of each one.

When you do find a home, always ask the seller to pay all closing costs and in this market that certainly is a good possibility. If they do not agree to pay all closing, them they should pay a substantial portion of it..

Once you have located your dream home, do not fail to get a home inspector to check it out for you. Don’t let the home become your nightmare. When the home inspector does the inspection, be there and walk with them you will learn a lot of stuff that you never knew.
