Strategy for successful home purchase

By · June 19, 2011

As a buyer there are some things you can do to increase your odds for a successful purchase.

1. Meet with your agent and develop a plan of how to obtain home you want.

2.  Be prepared – have your pre-approval letter in place so when you find the home you want you can include that with your offer.

3. The more money you have for a down payment the better you look to a seller a a serious buyer.

4. Depending upon the situation write the best offer you can.  Your Realtor should be able to find out various needs of the seller and partner them with your needs.

Once you have a ratified offer position yourself to make sure you are getting what you are paying for.  Do this with inspections and careful review of disclosures.  If you feel comfortable the home is everything you think it is continue moving forward with the purchase to a successful close of escrow.

Blogging is a way to attend a cocktail party but not actually be at someone else’s home. In this fast paced life we lead it is sometimes nice to sit at home, relax and still feel like you can still participate in various things throughout the area in which you live. My goal is to have this blog accomplish just that. With your help I hope it becomes a voice of not only Folsom and our surrounding communities such as El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks, perhaps Sacramento to name a few.

It won’t just be about real estate although I am sure that will be a topic discussed often but also about what is happening in the local schools, city politics, shopping , restaurants , employment, local getaways and activities -- in fact, we can discuss whatever you like. So, visit often and comment without feeling as if you are being judged. You only need to be you.

So, welcome to FolsomLivingBlog.com. It’s about all of us and our community!
