Have You Fallen in Love With a Home?

If you've fallen in love with a home, that's no small feat! Finding the home of your dreams can take serious effort and research. Countless hours can be spent at the computer or with an agent touring potential properties. Make the time you've invested towards finding your forever home count by going after that house you want. An agent who knows Hampton Roads and is experienced in the art of negotiating has the resources you need to make a dream home truly your own.

The first step to take (if you haven't already) is have a heart-to-heart chat with your trustworthy agent. This professional can guide you and help ensure that the home you love truly fits into the parameter of what you seek. Some properties may look good on the outside, but upon closer inspection, may have issues that can lead to heartbreak if not addressed up front. If everything looks good, your agent can sit down with you and go over how you can proceed by making an offer. Listen and learn before deciding exactly how much you'll write the offer for, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Your agent is there to help!

Once your offer is written, your agent should submit it and get back with you in a timely manner. The hard part can be waiting for the seller's response, but it can be worth it when the offer is accepted. If there is further negotiating needed, your agent helps with this process too. Falling in love with a home is a beautiful thing, but getting that home can be simply priceless.
