Buying your first home can be very stressful, and most people are overwhelmed when starting the process. However, the best way to look at the home-buying process is like you are building a team of experts to assist you. Some people on your team are with you every step of the way, like your Realtor and loan officer, while others on the team are only with you for a short period of time, like your home inspector
Consider that every team member is important and vital to your success, so they have to be chosen carefully. Interview people at the outset and make sure that they are a fit for you. All Realtors and loan officers basically do the same thing—the process is the process. However, the difference may be in personality, experience, quality, and process, so make sure that each team member is “right” for you.
You will be working with this group very closely for at least a couple of months. Your team should consist of your Realtor, loan officer, home inspector, insurance agent, and handyman. This is your core team and together they will get you through the process of buying your first home.
