The Decision!
If you finally made the decision and are searching for property for sale, there are a number of things to take into consideration and think about. Finding property can sometimes be difficult if you don’t know what to look for or where to look. Which is why, we here at Hometown Realty strive to make sure this is a pleasurable experience for all our clients.
The Next Step!
The next step is to make a personal list of what it is you want and need in a piece of property. Size, location, and price are three major bullet points you will want to write down.
Other Options:
- How many bedrooms
- Separate office space
- How many bathrooms
- Square footage
- Size of garage
- RV parking
- HOA or no HOA

Time to talk with a Mortgage Lender
Loan officers

Lending Options
A loan officer is an agent employed by a lending institution. They work directly with the homeowners to take them through the mortgage process.
They do the legwork — such as gathering documents, pulling your credit history, verifying income and employment. They will use the information to apply for loans on your behalf with several lenders in a short time frame.

Referrals
A referral from a real estate agent to a mortgage lender is earned business; it can't be bought. More than likely, your agent will have a relationship with a few mortgage lenders that they trust. It's partly that relationship that will ensure a stress-free transaction and a basis for good communication. You owe it to yourself to at least talk to the agent's recommended mortgage lenders.
