As a renter, it’s possible you’ve toyed with the idea of buying,
browsed available homes in your price range, or taken advice from
friends and family in Real Estate. A word of advice if you’re ready to
take the leap; don’t let your dream home be the one that got away. In
your home search, you want to have no regrets and be absolutely certain
that you’re the perfect match, and you don’t want to lose the right one
to another buyer because you clammed up at the last minute.

Make sure your financials are in order whether your paying cash or
getting a mortgage, and be prepared to provide your real estate agent
with your proof of funds right away so they have that information on
file when you submit an offer. Be positive this is a home you’ll be
happy in for the long haul, and although you’ll likely have to
compromise on certain issues, do your homework and make sure it has
everything you and your family will need. With low inventory in the
Seattle Market and the Puget Sound area, know that you’re not the only
one likely interested in your home. There is potential for bidding wars,
so if you know the time is right make an offer when you’re ready.
