Don’t Head Out Alone
A Guide to Your Search
How to even begin? A great agent can navigate you through the often murky process of buying a home here in the Catskills. It can be daunting without someone listening and looking out for your interests.
Mortgage Bankers
If financing a home, one of the first steps in buying a primary or secondary home is to speak to a mortgage banker. They will help gauge what is affordable and begin the pre-approval process. In this competitive housing market, this is a prerequisite to making an offer. Sellers won’t take an offer seriously if a buyer doesn’t have a pre-approval in hand.
Attorneys
Many buyers wait until they have an accepted offer to find an attorney. Having one lined up before making an offer is preferred. When and offer is submitted, having an attorney already chosen can help you stand out from others.
Home Inspectors
A thorough, punctual home inspector is a great thing. Make sure there are no big surprises after closing on your new home. A septic inspection is also highly recommended.
