To start the homebuying process, begin by assessing your budget, obtaining pre-approval for a mortgage, and engaging a real estate agent to help you find suitable properties.
Consider factors such as location, proximity to amenities, safety, school districts, transportation options, and future development plans.
Generally, you'll need proof of income, employment details, bank statements, identification, and details about any outstanding debts or assets.
Real estate agents have extensive market knowledge, can guide you through the buying or selling process, negotiate on your behalf, and help with paperwork and legalities.
