You’ve worked hard, you’ve saved your money, and you’ve decided you are ready to take the leap and buy your first home in Nashville. Okay great, now what?
The first place to start is by getting pre-approved for a loan. You will want to work with your bank, complete all necessary paperwork, and determine the price point that you can afford. This is crucial because you never would want to find a house, fall in love with it, and then realize you can’t afford it.
It’s time to get busy and put pen to paper – make a list of all your must haves, including the
number of bedrooms, bathrooms, yard size, neighborhood amenities i.e.; close to the park, community pool etc. Having a list like this will really help as you start your home search.
Once you have your list complete, it is time to contact a Nashville buyer's agent. You’ll want to make sure you select an agent that you feel comfortable with, has a good understanding of the market, and knows the ins and outs of the neighborhoods that you are interested in.
Let the search begin! After selecting your buyer's agent he/she will set up an automated database search which includes the areas you are interested in, as well as those non-negotiables on your must have list. This search can be set up to send you updated electronic listings as frequently as you see fit. From there, you will visit various properties with your agent, until you find the home of your dreams!
Your buyer's agent will put on his negotiator hat and work with you and the sellers agent to ensure that you get the best deal possible. Your agent will guide you through the home inspection, any additional negotiations that result from that inspection, and clearly explain all information during the closing.
A knowledgeable Nashville buyer's agent is priceless in the home buying process. If the Music City is where you want to call home, be sure to contact us and it will be our pleasure in assisting you find your dream home.
