Keys to a successful house search. Long Beach homes For Sale... Century 21

Keys to a successful house search.  Long Beach homes For Sale... Century 21

Search for Homes that are For Sale Here.


Long Beach Homes For Sale, The Peninsula



You've surfed the real-estate websites and have some ideas. Now sit down and write out a three-part list:


Make a list and write it down...

1. Must-haves

These are features in the new home that you consider non-negotiable. A good school district, for example. Or three bedrooms. A backyard. You get the idea. The stuff you're not willing to live without, and feel confident you can afford.

2. These would be nice


This is the wish list. An updated kitchen, say, or hardwood floors. Maybe a move-in-ready house. Items that you can acknowledge are wants, not needs. These may be things that can easily be added after you move in. Carpets can be ripped out, after all. It's harder to add a garage.



3. Deal-breakers

These are the things you absolutely, positively don't want. Agents should not waste your time if these are present. Maybe it's a busy road nearby, a long commute or no sidewalks or nearby parks. These are often things that can't be changed.



Write these things down and give a copy to your agent. Add to your list as you view homes.




"Those can change over time, but unless you're actually working off this document, you're invariably going to be seeing things that don't make sense to you," says Doug Perlson, CEO of RealDirect, a technology-driven real-estate brokerage.

Find the right neighborhood first


Leslie Mann, an agent with Hallmark Sotheby’s International Realty in Massachusetts, tells clients to focus on the community first, then talk houses.



"What we find, over the years, is those clients end up happier," she says.



Give yourself a deadline

Agents saw a lot of effective house-hunting this spring when buyers hustled to meet the April 15 deadline for the first-time homebuyer tax credit.



Margot MacKay and her husband were striving for that cutoff and were motivated to vacate their rental. Even though they wanted their "forever home," they became consumed and expeditious.



"It forced us to really be honest with ourselves in terms of what we wanted," MacKay says. They were able to make their first offer within weeks, and say they are now happy with their new home outside Philadelphia.



Belmont Shore, Long Beach Homes For Sale



Try the eye-doctor approach

Some agents, after showing two homes, ask their clients, "If you had to choose between those two?" After the next viewing, the agent repeats the question, using the last pick and the new home.



It not only narrows the search, it gets everyone to break down what they did and didn't like. A good agent listens closely.




Get pre-approved

"I'm trying to prevent people from being disappointed," Karr says. "You don't waste time looking at things that you're not qualified for."



Last — but not least — choose a good agent

The right agent can make all the difference.

Try this idea, from Bray: Tell a prospective agent exactly what you're looking for and ask to see three houses. Do the homes meet at least the minimum guidelines you set out?




"If they can't even get it for the test situation, maybe it's time to move on to another agent," Bray says.




Century 21, Long Beach Homes For Sale

How long is the average hunt for a house?

According to a 2009 survey by the National Association of Realtors, the median buyer shopped for 12 weeks and looked at 12 homes.



"If you look at a dozen homes, you feel like you've told the agent what you want — if you're not making a decision in that amount of time, you're probably not a good decision-maker," says Walter Molony, a spokesman for the NAR.

Long Beach Homes For Sale - Checklist Before YOU buy.

Long Beach Homes FOR SALE, Naples Island Realtor - Long Beach

Checklist Before YOU Buy!






Finding a home that you can see yourself in for the next five to twenty-five years is a great feeling. Don't let that feeling cloud your judgment and leave you with unexpected issues after the closing.





Here are a few things to consider before you buy:



1. Hire an expert to do your own home inspections and attend them if possible.






2. Evaluate possible repairs/immediate improvements. Ask the seller to repair them or include the cost into your bidding.






3. Purchase an environmental report.






4. Know all of the vital systems that connect to the house (electrical, sewage, heating, air conditioning, garbage disposal, and water.) Investigate the ins and outs of these systems.






5. Perform an energy audit. Confirm that your budget will match what your new home is going to cost on a monthly basis.






6. Examine potential neighborhoods with a 24 hour perspective. Are there any dogs howling late at night? Again be sure there are no regular surprises.






7. Do multiple practice commutes. One day is not enough time to judge the next 5+ years of driving to work.






8. Consider your furniture, electronics and appliances. Will they fit into the new home or will you need to purchase new home furnishings?






9. Know the local political landscape. Are there any issues you should know about? Make sure you understand how utilities, schools and public services are funded.






10. Research the local area to understand its economics, climate, and variables that will be part of your long-term lifestyle.
