Where's The Money?

Have you ever been at a restaurant, ordered and ate your meal then went to pull out your wallent and realized it wasn't there or if it was you were going to be short on how much money you had? Well, that happens more often than not when it comes to someone buying a home. They spend a vast amount of time on the internet, driving around and visiting homes until they find the one they want to only discover later that they don't qualify for a loan large enough or not at all in order to buy it. Or, they can qualify for the loan, but because they weren't prepared another buyer who was prepared swoops in and gets the home.

Making sure your financing is in place BEFORE you start getting serious about finding a new home has only advantages and no disadvantages. Below is a small list of advantages.

• Knowledge of what you can afford.


• Knowing how much payment you can expect


• How much money you will need up front if any.


• Able to negotiate a better deal


• Advantage over other buyers who are not pre-approved.


• Close quicker on the home.

All the items on this list represent power for a buyer and demonstrate to a seller that you, as a buyer, are a solid buyer who is negotiating with integrity.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself prepared financially and you will be rewarded greatly when you go and buy that dream home.

What Everyone Should Know Before They Buy a Home


Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

• What steps do you need to go through in order to buy a home and in what order?

• How do you position yourself to save THOUSANDS of dollars when you buy a home?

• What are some the advantages of using the services of a real estate agent?

• What is the best way to find a home?

• What forms will be necessary to buy a home?

• Do you need a lot of money to buy a home?

Here are a couple of excerpts from the book’s introduction:

I still remember when Dawn and I bought our very first home. It was the
summer of 1996 and we had been living in a bug infested apartment for way
too long. We spent hours driving around neighborhoods looking for yard
signs. We eventually called one of the agents and ended up buying a home.
We still didn't know the process but, at least, had a home. Looking back
now on those days of naivete, I realize how much we didn't know and how
much money we threw away due to our ignorance. They say knowledge is
power and I'd have to agree because the amount of money we lost in that
first transaction proved we had neither knowledge or power.

Does your current job pay you $100 per hour? If not, realize that the time you spend getting knowledge in the home buying process can easily save you thousands of dollars. I see homes bought all the time where the buyer saves $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 and sometimes more, simply because they were empowered with knowledge.
Think how many hours you would have to work at your job to make that
kind of money. Now think of what it would be like to just throw it away.
Homes are bought every day and every day thousands upon thousands of
dollars of hard earned money is thrown away by home buyers simply
because they did not take the time necessary to learn how to buy a home.

When should I start looking for a home?

I'm often asked: "When should we start looking for a home?" That's a question that is easily answered. Right now! However, how you start looking for a home is a different answer. The answer is dependent upon your particular situation. For instance, if you currently have a home that you would need to sell prior to buying a new home then your time would most likely be best spent searching for homes that catch your interest on the web through a home search tool like the one I provide on my website. You can begin to get an ideal of the type of home you would like to have, as well as, the neighborhoods that you would consider living in. If the house is within a reasonable distance from you then you can even drive past it and get a feel for the neighborhood.

If you don't have to sell your home in order to buy a new one, then your search process should get a little more involved. You can begin, once again, online, but you can then begin to have me set up appointments to see the houses and tour them. The difference being, of course, you are more capable of purchasing the home in that position rather than in the other.

By waiting to tour the homes until you are actually ready to purchase, you are being courteous to the potential home sellers. Nobody likes to get their home ready to show and find a place to go while it's being shown for somebody who cannot possibly purchase the home.

So, when should you start looking for a home? Right now! You can begin right here!
