HOUSE HUNTING 101

House Hunting 101

Looking for a new home? It's a buyer's market, right now, but with so much inventory out there, how does anyone figure out what they want or need? Best place to start is right where you are. Make a list of everything that works, and everything that doesn't. Do you need more closets? A quiet place to work? More counter space in the kitchen? Storage in the garage? Whatever it is, write it down, but don't forget to include what you love about your present residence. Measure all rooms and make note as to whether or not the present size is suitable for your activities and belongings. THIS IS KEY! Don't waste your time looking at houses with rooms too small to accomodate your family. Dimensions, though approximate, are listed on all real estate home sheets, so do yourself a favor and read the details. With a little bit of homework, you can narrow your list of go-sees and save yourself and your agent valuable time.[Image]In addition to your research, you definitely want to enlist the help of a competent real estate agent, especially in today's market. With so many foreclosures and short sales out there, you will benefit greatly from the guidance of a qualified professional. If you are looking for a house to buy in Las Vegas, please give me a call. I am motivated, knowledgeable, caring, and will return your call quickly!
