If you’re planning to buy a home this year, there are a few things you can do to prepare yourself. The first is to find a real estate agent that you trust to represent you fairly and with your best interest in mind. The other person you need to get in your corner before you start house hunting is a lender. Your real estate agent should be able to refer several that they like, but you can also check your bank or credit union and ask friends and family members for recommendations. Your lender will run your finances and set your maximum price for financing. This will help direct your search to homes that you can afford. After you have an agent and a lender in place educate yourself by talking to people with experience, reading books and articles, and talking to anybody you can who can help you understand the real estate purchase process. Meanwhile you can begin your search!
