Set Priorities
Home buying can feel like an exciting, yet daunting journey and it can be difficult to know how to take the first step. Setting priorities is always the first thing Mike asks his clients to communicate so he can focus on finding the right property that meets your needs.
Part of communicating your priorities is doing your research. You can leave finding the properties up to Mike Pugh but providing him with an accurate budget or price range, amenities you wish to have included, age or style of home and other specific factors is the best way to get started on the right foot.
Other important first steps of home buying are shopping around and leaving adequate time to make a decision. Having a financial plan set out ahead of time can help make your priorities clearer. Mike takes the time to find properties that meet your needs, and with that, he doesn’t just show you one, instead highlighting a variety of homes with the potential to best suit your needs.
While our goal is to work quickly and efficiently, this process can take some time, so communicating your time frame and move-in expectations is essential to make each step of the process run smoothly.
Additionally, being prepared to buy the home is key in moving quickly once you are ready to make an offer.
