Today let’s talk about the five steps to purchasing a home:
1. Find a superstar agent. You can do this by making a few phone calls, doing a little research, and asking potential agents a few questions such as, “How many transactions have you done in the last 12 months?” and, “How long have you been in real estate?”
2. Meet a lender who your agent trusts. Agents have to work with lenders on nearly every deal, so make sure that they have a good relationship with a trusted lender.

You really won’t know what you can afford until you get pre-approved. ”
3. Start searching for your home—after you’ve been pre-qualified, of course. You really won’t know what kind of home you can afford until you do.
4. Hire a home inspector. Once you’ve found your dream home, it’s time to hire a team of professionals to ensure that the home you are planning to buy is in the right condition before moving forward.
5. Close the transaction. If you have that superstar agent and follow all the above steps, this will simply be a formality.
