Tips
How To Buy A Home
in metro Atlanta
Deciding to buy
The right time to buy
Today, home buyers have more choices than ever
before. You can choose financing options that are flexible and
affordable, home styles that fit a variety of lifestyles, and
professional services that make the process fast, effective and
enjoyable. Here are some facts about homeownership that may
surprise you:
-
Homeownership can be a good investment
opportunity. A house offers leverage and the possibility for
appreciation in value. And, you can use this investment while
it's working for you!
-
You can't afford to overlook the tax breaks of
homeownership. Since mortgage interest and property taxes are
deductible, homeownership can save you money each year. And
more & more young people are realizing the benefits of owning a
home. Figures from the National Association of Realtors put
the average age of first-time buyers at 32 years old.
-
The waiting game is a losing game. Don't
put off buying a home waiting for the prices to come down.
How to get started
-
Choose a professional who specializes in
residential real estate. She or he should have specific
knowledge of the local real estate and mortgage markets.
-
Consider references carefully. An
experienced, confident sales professional can provide you with names
of recent buyers in your market with whom he or she has worked.
-
Select a professional who will listen to you.
Your agent should be interested enough in you to find out about you
and your housing needs and preferences.
-
Select a professional who puts service first.
Strong customer service is key in today's real estate business.
