De-Stress yourself when home buying.

No matter if it is your first time or tenth time buying a house, the process can be stressful. The Lawhead Team would like to share some tips to de-stress when home buying.

  1. Save Smart. Before you start looking at homes, make sure you have taken the time to save up for your down payment. Putting money towards your home buying purchase will give you more flexibility when it comes time to home buying.
  2. Find Out Your Credit Score. Make sure you check your credit to make sure there are not mistakes or problems which would prevent you from home buying. You can check your credit annually for free from AnnualCreditReport.com.
  3. Pre-Approval. By getting pre-approved before you start your home buying process, you put yourself in a good position to know exactly how much you can afford. Make sure you will be living within your means depending on the home you purchase.
  4. Home Features. Write down the must haves and then the wants for your new home. Once you make a decision about your must haves, your decision on what properties to view will narrow down.
  5. Professional Assistance. Home buying is much more involved than other high dollar transactions. Finding a professional real estate agent, like The Lawhead Team, will help lessen the stress of the home buying process.

  7. Stay On Top Of Your Offer. If your offer has been accepted, make sure to stay on top of the home buying transaction. You are not always guaranteed to close on your offer. But as long as you and your realtor stay on top of the deadlines and tasks, you should have your keys in your hand soon enough.
