Homes For Sale
Many IDX providers allow you to create saved searches to link to. This can be for homes based on price range or property characteristics.
Pre-Approval
WHY GETTING PRE-APPROVED SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST STEP
In many markets across the country, the amount of buyers searching for their dream home greatly outnumbers the amount of homes for sale. This has led to a competitive marketplace where buyers often need to stand out. One way to show you are serious about buying your dream home is to get pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage before starting your search.
But even if you are in a market that is not as competitive, knowing your budget will give you the confidence to know if your dream home is within your reach.
Getting pre-approved is one of many steps that will show home sellers that you are serious about buying and it often helps speed up the process once your offer has been accepted.
Escrow and Closing Costs
If you have saved up your down payment and are ready to start your home search, one other piece of the puzzle is to make sure that you have saved enough for your closing costs.
Freddie Mac defines closing costs as: “Closing costs, also called settlement fees, will need to be paid when you obtain a mortgage. These are fees charged by people representing your purchase, including your lender, Title, Escrow and other third parties involved in the transaction. Closing costs are typically between 2 & 5% of your purchase price.”
Home Warranty
In an ideal world, buying a home should be one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of your life. However, the headaches caused by a heating system failure or a broken refrigerator could taint those memories forever.

Moving Van
An important decision for you and your family to make is whether you will move yourself or hire a moving company to do the dirty work for you. Certain factors will play a key role in your decision, such as:
- the size of your family
- if your children are old enough to help in the moving process
- how much stuff you need to move
If you have young children, they are probably not going to be very helpful when you need to cart a fridge onto a moving van. However, if you have older teenagers and lots of strong relatives and friends to carry out the move efficiently, you may not need to look into moving services afterall.
