Buying Your First Home, Where To Start?

As experienced Flower Mound real estate professionals, we know that buying your first home is perhaps the most exciting time in your life. Even in the initial stages, it’s fun to drive around and “pick out” those homes that you love in terms of style and design, or to go online and browse the homes for sale in the area. It’s nearly every couple’s dream to find that “perfect” home, one that you’ll feel comfortable and relaxed in, and be proud to show off to friends and family.

However, once you get past the browsing stage and get serious about buying a home, is it a good idea to simply choose the first realtor you come to in the Yellow Pages, or online? Or, do you even need a real estate agent when buying a home?

As trusted Flower Mound realtors, we understand just how complex real estate transactions can be. Buying a home can be like navigating a maze in the dark! Many people have the idea that a realtor only needs to have a good sense of direction (or these days, a GPS), and be a good host when showing a home to a client. If it was that easy, anyone could become an agent. The fact is, your realtor should be a skilled negotiator with great communication skills and the ability to get things done efficiently.

Buying a home should be fun, but all too often it can become a complicated and confusing mess if you don’t have the right real estate agent – or one at all. Navigating the endless sea of homes for sale can be exhausting. Your realtor should clearly communicate with you in order to determine exactly what you’re looking for in terms of size, design, price, number of bedrooms, and more. This way, many of the homes for sale in the area can be weeded out, and you can go straight to those that fit your criteria.

Your agent will also answer all of your questions about those homes that you’re most interested in, explain the positive and negative aspects of each, and give you estimates of the fair value for the properties so that you can make an offer that is within range and will likely be accepted by the seller’s agent, while keeping it as low as possible for you.

Once you’re ready to get serious about purchasing your first home, make the process as seamless – and fun – as possible! At Team Nelson, we are the Flower Mound real estate pros who are dedicated to helping first-time home buyers find their dream homes.

What People Are Saying

This is the third house that Team Nelson has sold for us. With sales of homes dropping throughout the Metroplex Team Nelson had us an offer in less than 10 days which we took. The three other homes for sale within a three block area are still on the market after ours has closed.
