Tips for Buyers in 2014
- Get Pre-Approved: This should always be your first step when you're buying a home. It will make you look like a serious buyer in the eyes of a seller and it will increase the likelihood that your offer is met with positive feedback.
- With low inventory and high demand from buyers in Fairfax, you will need to act quickly. If you're pre-approved to buy a home it will increase your chances of getting the home that you want. Before you buy a home, you have to prove that you have the financial wherewithal to do it.
- Let Your Realtor Know What You Want: This makes it much easier for us to find you a suitable home. Determine a price point, a number of bedrooms or bathrooms, or even a particular neighborhood that you find suitable. Research school districts and the amenities of different neighborhoods. Finding out what you actually want takes a lot of guesswork out of the process for us, and it allows us to find a more perfect fit for you.
- We can also insert search criteria into the MLS, so that when a property comes onto the listing with features that match your interests, you will be notified by email as soon as it hits the market.
The bottom line here is that you need to know what you want, and be prepared to act when you find a property that is suited towards your needs. Just let us know what you want and we can map out a strategy to get you the home that you need.
