When purchasing an existing home hire a professional home inspector. It cost less than $300 and can save you thousands. Also have the well and septic tested prior to closing.

Work with a real estate professional who is familiar with available properties, local property values and who will take the time to show you every property that may fit your needs. When you do find the perfect property will also have the experience to negotiate and handle every necessary detail so you don’t have to.

If possible have a letter of financing approval ready when making an offer. When negotiating a purchase agreement it goes along way to prove you have the ability to purchase the property.
