BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A Few Useful Questions.
Do I need to have a home picked out first?+
No. A conversation about your budget, timing, and preferred areas can help focus the search before you fall in love with a property.
Is the listed price the whole cost of buying?+
Your budget should also consider financing costs, inspections, insurance, taxes, moving, and property-specific expenses. Ask your lender for an estimate tailored to your loan.
Will clicking home search show live listings?+
The search button opens Patty’s RealScout home search. Listings, availability, and any registration requirements are handled there.
