Dear Prospective Buyer

I would like to share some ideas with you about finding your future home, including information on deciding on a community to live in and what to look for during a walk-through.

When determining the neighborhood you would like to live in, please consider its location approximate to your job as well as schools, public transportation, shopping, museums, theaters and other attractions that might interest you. Drive around the neighborhood and talk to residents. Can you picture yourself happily living here? Most importantly, choose a community where you feel comfortable.

Once you have narrowed your search to a particular area, contact the local chamber of commerce for promotional literature about the community. I also suggest visiting the local library as it is a wonderful source for information on local events. I can give you information about the local schools please visit Arizona Department of Education.

It is best to evaluate each house based on what it has to offer. There are many things to look for when walking through a home, including the following:

Phoenix pre-foreclosures and Arizona bank owned properties seem to be the most popular demand right now are homes for sale under $150,000 in Phoenix. Understandable being you can get into a starter home or purchase an investment property with sometimes very little repair. There is a bit of a myth out there that short sales and foreclosures are the best gig in town, not always the case. The work that goes into finding that ‘little gem’ is more work than than you might be prepared for. There is a lot of determination and perseverance when it comes to finding a home in that price range! You will need to come prepared to view the properties almost immediately as they hit the market! You need to be prepared to entertain multiple bidders you could be up against. Fear not, as I’ve had a great track record at getting my buyers offers accepted and finding some great gems that are out there waiting for you to claim as yours!
I will help point out the pros and cons of each home from a professional standpoint. Once we weed out the homes that do not interest you, we should consider the details of the ones you like, including the amount of work that needs to be done if you purchase the home. It is best to determine if all of the mechanical systems and appliances work. Does anything need to be repaired or replaced? Find out if the seller will do these things or offer an allowance for the buyer to do them. If you are happy with the details, we should go back to the final contestants for a second look. This will help us select the perfect home for you. On average, homebuyers walk through fifteen houses before selecting one.

Planning your first time home purchase can be rather exciting and yet overwhelming. Allowing a professional to walk you through the entire process could be a life saver. With so many things to think about and important decisions to be made, why not allow a Real Estate professional guide you every step of the way. As a first time buyer, the $8000.00 home buyer tax credit can come in handy and even make your home purchase a little more affordable. Being prepared and understanding the terms of buying a home are equally important. Allow me to help you through the biggest decision you will most likely make in your lifetime, I assure you it will be the best experience you have encountered.
