Sometimes, a little understanding goes a long way when you are taking on a new challenge
Understanding all the steps before buying a home is a great way to begin...
Of course, finding the right agent will be a key figure on your plans....
He or she will guide you throughout the process
These are the basics of how to buy a home:
Step 1:Determine your budget
From the very first step, you should determine how much house you can afford.
Include inside your budget the "extra costs" that comes from homeownership.
Step 2:Get pre-approved for a mortgage
Did you know that sellers are typically more willing to accept your offer when you have a pre-approval on your hands? Sellers want only serious buyers that are already pre-approved.
Step 3:Find a buyer’s agent
Just because real estate agents are licensed professionals who have access to information that most often is not open to the public. A good buyer’s agent is the key hire for you as a home buyer. He or she will preferably be an expert on the home buying process for the area(s) you are looking for. Your agent should also be a skilled negotiator that will help you save money on the process.

Narrow down your search

Relax, narrow down your search in the right locations and concentrate rather in quality than quantity
Step 5:Make an offer
This is the most important step, your agent should advise you the best offer amount than is not based on the asking price but, the actual value of the house.
Step 6:The Close
Once you and the seller agree on the terms, you'll have a ratified contract in your hands. All the conditions inside the contract must be met before the actual closing of the house.
You’ll likely be in very close communication with your agent, lender, and title company during this time.
Your agent should guide you through all the steps until the front door keys are in your pocket!
