What’s the First Step to Home Buying?

Memphis Real Estate Podcast with Rita Driver

The first step in buying a home isn’t going online and browsing for them. Before you do that, you need to know exactly what you can afford.

Buying a home? Search the local MLS.

One question we get all the time from buyers is, “Where do I start?” In fact, this tends to be the number one question they ask us. Many think the first step is to start looking at homes, but we think there’s another step that you need to take before that.
The first thing you should do if you plan on buying a home is meet with a mortgage lender. They will help you determine what you qualify for, what your monthly payment will be, and exactly what it is you want to purchase.

"Buying is a big commitment."

This is a big commitment, and we understand that. So, start with that loan in place so you become a verified buyer. That will give us great negotiating leverage when it does come time to make an offer.
