Your 10 Steps to Buying a Home
If your 2016 New Year's resolution is to buy a home, Realtor.comŪ's #1 recommendation is to start the process early in the year.
Their reasoning is this: after comparing the number of listings to the number of home buyers, they found that buyers who start their search in January or February face less competition with nearly the same number of homes.
Buying a home can be a very complicated process, so TSAHC has created a checklist to help you determine if you are ready to buy a home. By following this checklist, you can be prepared to act when the perfect home comes along.
Attention lenders and REALTORSŪ: We invite you to co-brand this brochure by downloading this version and adding your contact information and logo to the bottom of it.
