Definitely an experienced agent that can inform you of what is important on the specific home you are interested in, depending on area, age, condition, and many other factors. Secondly, ordering inspections that are going to be important on the specific type of property looking to purchase, like home inspection, pest inspection, or others that apply. Third, get title insurance.

1-Hire a good Realtor to assist you in getting pre-approved with a lender, advise you and what inspections you will need, survey, etc., negotiate, navigate and advocate for you. 2-Location - Make sure the home is in a location you want to live - You do not want to move in and find out that even though you love the house, you hate the location, or the drive to work is too far. 3- If you have kids, schools are very important to consider. Make sure you know what schools your kids will be assigned to. Your Realtor will be able to help you with this.
