Dear Santa, Please Bring Me A House!

Starting a home search is exciting - and daunting.  So just in case Santa does not deliver that cute-two-bedroom-one-bath-Cape-with-a-nice-yard-in-a-friendly-neighborhood, Here's a quick-and-dirty list of how to buy a home: 1. Get pre-approved by a reputable lender.  If you've already gotten pre-approved, make sure it's up-to-date.  Nothing will kill a deal faster than a bad pre-approval. 2. Make a wish list of what you really must have and what you can live without.  And remember... every house has a history, and  there is no "perfect house!" 3. Based on your price range and wish list, pick a few towns to look in.  Don't look all over Middlesex County or you will be looking for a long, long time. 4. Find yourself a good Buyer's Agent (shameless plug).  It's free so why not? Okay, okay.... if you REALLY want to find a house, email me and we'll look together!
