Final Thoughts

  Problem: now that you know how much you can spend - its time to shop - should you hire a realtor and if so, how do you find one?

Solution:

· A good starting point is to become an educated consumer - How? Check out the web sites for your area.

Resale

New Homes

Check out the weekend papers for their advertisements. You want to find out if your buying power expectations are realistic.

Once you have an idea as to what is "out there", if you are interested in a Resale, you are ready to call Realtors whose listings you have seen or retain a Realtor and get them to help you hunt.

If you are interested in a New Home -you need to know that the Builder may not pay much or any commission to a Realtor that you walk in to the New Home Sales Office with. That means your Realtor may not want to bother showing you New Homes even if that is what is best for you!

Either way, you should hire a Realtor if you want someone with expert knowledge to guide you through the process and help you find the right home.
