Understand the process.Buying
real estate is a complex matter and can be especially confusing for the
first-time homebuyer. Do yourself a favor and learn as much about the
process as you can before you begin. There are plenty of resources on
the Internet, and most real estate offices will have pamphlets to
explain things in plain language. You may also be able to research the
real estate process by attending community-sponsored classes, or you can
take a look at books like Home Buying For Dummies by Eric Tyson and Ray
Brown, (IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.)
Use a REALTOR(R).As
a buyer, it usually costs nothing to hire a real estate professional to
help you find and purchase a home--your Realtor will likely get a
portion of the commission the seller pays to his Realtor. When choosing
an agent, get referrals from friends, relatives, and co-workers, and
then interview as many agents as possible. Pick an agent that works in
the neighborhoods you're interested in. Listen to your agent, but make
your own decision.
