• Get pre-approved

Find a good mortgage person and get your mortgage pre-approval lined up. This will help you “get real” about what you can afford and will prepare you, so that you can make an offer when you do find the right house.

 Your Realtor can probably recommend 2-3 good mortgage agents to call.

• Find a good Realtor®
