Discuss the Details (Buyer Tip 2)

This is usually the first conversation (or at least the most important) that you and your agent will have. This is the time to discuss needs and wants, must haves and bonuses, what you can do without and can’t do without in your home. How big of a family do you have? How big do you intend for your family to be? Do you need a home office? Are you okay with sharing a single bathroom or do you want to have one in the master bedroom? Is carpet okay or do you want wood floors? What about the schools for your children, can your kids still go to the school they are at if you buy this home? With the amenities you are choosing does this fall into your price range? These are some very important questions that you need to ask yourself and discuss with your agent. A good agent will be sure to pull all necessary information from you but it is good to be prepared.

Recap:
• What are your needs in a home?
• What can you live without and what can you NOT live without?
• Are you planning for the future?
• Do you plan to stay here for an indefinite amount of time; will this home hold any future family plans?
• If you have children now will they still be able to attend the school they are in?
