If you are considering buying a home, it’s important to first meet with a mortgage lender to get understand how much home you can afford and the type of loan that you can obtain and also meeting with a Realtor for a buyer consultation. A buyer consultation is critical to helping your Realtor understand what you are needing and wanting in a new home.
If you are considering selling your home, having a knowledgeable Realtor that provides a thorough market analysis to best determine your home’s current value is extremely crucial. You don’t want to give away some of the equity in your home nor do you want to out price your home for the market. Your Realtor should also provide you with a detailed marketing plan to get your home the most exposure as quickly as possible.
