Finds a lender you can talk/communicate with. Remember, there are many first time buyer programs that banks/states offer to assist you in purchasing your first home. We can find one together if you need assistance. Obtain a prequalification letter. This will help you budget your mortgage and also shows a seller you are prepared to act quickly. Time is of the essence so be ready, do your homework. Also recent changes in state laws throughout the US now require real estate agent to have a signed agreement with buyers before a house can be shown. This adds more paperwork but protects not only yourself by agents as well.

Be openminded, research your home's comparitive value to the open source listing companies sites, so you have a basic idea of value. Be prepared to do some maintenance, after inspections reveal shortcomings.

Buyers, sellers.
