7 Steps to Finding your Dream House

There is nothing more annoying than just starting the dream home searching processes and being called by every realtor in town within minutes. It can be overwhelming and make the whole home search not as much fun. Especially, when just starting and not having a clear idea in mind.

Well, maybe seeing every home MLS and Zillow have to offer and not finding “the one”, might be a little more annoying. Then there is the whole topic of FSBO’s. There are so many out there and it can be very difficult to near impossible to find them online. Many people revert to the old method of driving around every neighborhood looking for signs.

Step one- Find your Dream Home. Then follow these next 6 steps.

Use portal to browse in peace. Find homes that aren’t easy to find on Zillow and MLS without the hassle of every realtor in town calling.
Find a realtor you love and trust and ask them lots of questions. Gather as much information from your realtor about the property, the neighborhood, the schools, the restaurants, and any other valuable information.
Book a private tour. Take a tour of this home and picture yourself there.
Visit at night. Don’t forget to visit at night as well. The night scene could be very different from the day scene.
Check your cell phone in the home and make sure you have service. There are some places that have spotty reception and a home shouldn’t be one of them- unless looking for a place off grid of course.
Does it meet all your requirements. All the qualities in your dream house should be met or very close to being met.
Trust your gut. If it feels right, make an offer. If it does not, keep hunting.
