Purchasing a home is one of the largest financial investments you’ll probably make.  It also can be a very emotional one as well.  Here are some tips to help take the stress out.

• Work with a Realtor that not only is knowledgeable but also is comfortable fit with your personality.
• Don’t look for perfection.  Every house has tradeoffs; focus on the most important features.
• Get pre-approved for a mortgage before you start looking.
• Don’t nickel & dime when it comes to negotiations.  Yes, negotiating is part of the process but over-negotiating can kill the deal.
• Keep in mind that there is no “right” time to buy.  Second-guessing interest rates or trying to time the market is next to impossible.
• Don’t ask for too many opinions.  Some input from friends or family can be helpful.  Too much – it’s confusing.  Listen to the advice of your Realtor.
