Search for homes in the MLS and For Sale By Owner (FSBO).
Sign up for daily email notification services and stay on top of all new FSBOs coming to market.
Check out the neighborhoods, schools, crime rate, traffic, zoning, and work commutes. Rely on your exclusive buyer's agent's expertise and in-company resources. Check the web for helpful information.
Do the due diligence and research on your property of interest.
Visit or have your agent visit the town or city hall to learn of any zoning changes, liens, easements, or other restrictions.
Prepare the offer and negotiate. Have your exclusive buyer's agent prepare a property value study and ask the seller if there are any other offers and his motivation for selling, deadlines, etc.
Conduct the home inspections and other inspections. Take advantage of the inspection contingencies in your offer and get thorough inspections to eliminate any surprises after you move in to your new home.
Final negotiations and sign the Purchase & Sale Agreement.
Use the inspection report to re-negotiate, if necessary and sign the P&S after review.
