Buying a house soon?
The first step, even before you stop off at all those  open houses, is to get a pre-approved loan.  A pre-approval will let you know what price range you can afford.  A pre-approval letter is a valuable tool to use when negotiating a lower price as well as keeping your sights set on a reasonable price range.  You then can tailor your Web search within your affordability range.  Of course, nothing replaces actually going into each home available for sale and we're available at all hours to show you these homes. Remember, there is no cost to use Reid Realty agents when buying a home.  Don't do it on your own, and don't mistakenly make an offer through the agent holding the open-house.   Reid Realty agents strive to get you the best terms and best price in addition to helping you with inspections.  It is not uncommon to present several counter-offers before getting your price.  Of course with properties selling much faster than before, we must be very careful and draw upon our experience of what will get your offer accepted versus declined for another higher bidder.
