Buying Sedona Real Estate

If you are interested in buying a home, condo or property anywhere in the Sedona Arizona area, read this first so you are well prepared to buy in this market.

Get Pre-approved!

This is a vital step in the home buying process. Sit down with a lender and go over all your finances. Once the lender determines the maximum amount of mortgage payment your income can support they will write up a letter stating you have been pre-approved for a loan. If you know the price of the home you are making an offer on, your lender should be able to write the letter for that amount. You don't want to let the seller know you are approved for more than the offer price as they may hold out for more. (My Puyallup real estate contact has a great article on pre-approvals)

As your buyer's agent, I can help with all the aspects of writing a strong and competative offer. Buyer's really are in the drivers seat right now and because this is a buyer's market, you can be sure that your terms can be negotiated and agreed upon to some degree.

Get an inspection!

Whether or not you are going to ask the seller to do any repairs to fix anything, having an inspection is still a great way to learn more about your home. A good inspector can give you an idea of how old major appliances in your home are so you know when you  may need to replace something like a furnace, water heater or even the roof. (for more information on home inspections, visit my Alamogordo real estate connection.)

Get Insurance!

If this is your first time buying a home, you will want to shop around for home owner's insurance. Sometimes sellers offer a one year home warrenty which covers issues if something should break in the first year. But having home owners insurance is required by your lender in case the home should burn down or be burgalarized. Make sure escrow has this information when requested. (My Olympia real estate affiliate has a great article first time homebuyers.)

These are some simple steps in the road to home ownership.
