The Simple Steps to Buying Your First Home
Step I: Preparing, Getting Qualified & Getting Organized

Step 2: Finding the Perfect Agent
Experience matters! Don’t just pick the first agent you meet… interview several local agents to find out how they can help you. Find an agent that’s experienced, that communicates well, and that meshes with your personality, too.
Step 3: Search For Your Dream Home
Time to find the perfect home! The Triangle is big… so we recommend you start by trying to narrow down a more specific area, town, or location you think you’d love. Then, use a home search to pinpoint your exact house requirements.
Step 4: Home Buying Steps
Once you find that perfect home, it’s time to make an offer! Here comes the more technical stuff… like ordering a home inspection, getting the home appraised, finalizing your mortgage, and signing a LOT of paperwork on closing day.
