Once you have completed your preparations, it’s time to start your home search. Here are some steps to follow:
- Take a Drive: Explore the neighborhoods, complexes, or subdivisions that interest you. Take a drive around these areas to get a sense of the community, amenities, and overall atmosphere. This will help you determine if it aligns with your preferences and lifestyle.
- Narrow Your Search: Based on your initial impressions and preferences, narrow down your options to a few homes that interest you the most. Discuss your choices with Peter & his team, who can provide additional insights and help you schedule appointments to visit these properties.
- Visit the Homes: Accompanied by Peter or a member of his team, visit the selected homes to get a closer look. Take note of the property’s condition, layout, features, and any necessary repairs or renovations. Evaluate whether the home meets your requirements and if it feels like the right fit for you.
- Make an Offer: Once you have found the home you want to purchase, Peter will assist you in making an offer to the seller. Peter & his team will provide you with comparable sales data (comps) to determine a fair and competitive price. Peter will guide you through the process of drafting the offer and ensure it includes terms and conditions that work in your favor.
An experienced real estate agent, like Peter Cagnassola, can provide valuable insights and assistance in making a strong offer that stands out among others. They will leverage their expertise and knowledge of the local market to help you negotiate effectively and increase your chances of having your offer accepted.
