Do You Have a Plan for Buying Your Next Home? Part 2

We talked the other day about clients of mine that were searching for Huntington Beach CA homes for sale and the importance of having a plan in place before starting the home search.  While these clients are looking in Huntington Beach CA, the strategy works for any market including Newport Beach CA homes for sale and those that need a Long Beach mortgage.  Where ever you’re looking, you need a plan.

Here are two more excerpts from my Home Buyers Guide:

1. Know your buying power; Take appropriate steps to strengthen your negotiating position – Whether or not you already own a home, it’s important to know – before you start looking at homes – your buying power, your budget, and your spending limits.  There are two numbers that are important to you:  the first is your maximum purchasing power and the second is your comfortable spending limit.
2. Understand the role of Realtors – what they will do for you and what they won’t do. This is critical to understand, BEFORE, you meet/select/speak with a realtor.

The complete title of my Home Buyers Guide is How to Negotiate the Lowest Possible Price for Your Next Home.  If you would like a complimentary copy then please contact me and I’ll send it over right away.

As mentioned before, the point is to have a plan.  Once you’ve read the Home Buyers Guide and start working on a plan, then I’ll have you come into our office for a complimentary strategy session.

By the way, I work exclusively on referrals.  The best part of that is that the money I save in advertising can be filtered back to my clients in the form of lower fees.  So if you or someone you know is looking for Huntington Beach CA homes for sale and need help putting together a plan, then give me a call or shoot me an email.  I look forward to meeting with you soon.  Feel free to forward this blog post to anyone you think it would help.

Thank you!
