BUYING A HOME IN central ct:

I have put together a group of fellow realtors who I feel have the same work ethicas myself and by joining together we can service a larger area and meet the needs of our clients in a faster turn around time than working alone can offer.

To top that off, we have also put together a great web based shopping process that will help you see the types of homes, prices, and other criteria important to you before we even make the first appointment!

Although different areas require specific forms, the following general steps apply through the house hunting experiences:

1. Find a realtor you like and trust and sign a contract. Whether it is with me or anyone else, start a working relationship with your realtor and having a contract ensures both parties of loyalty and commitment throughout the process.
2. Find a loan officer and loan program that works for you. This will give you a comfort zone as to what price range you want to look at, and what negotiations you can make. Most home owners want all buyers to be at least pre-qualified before they will allow them to view their home.
3. Get an attorney, check with your loan officer, they usually have a list of attorneys that they will allow to do their paperwork. It is a cost saver to use the same attorney as the bank.
4. Start looking! It is still a seller's market, and this is where your realtor, going through a "must have" and a "would be nice" list helps to find appropriate homes to view.
