Because you need to know how much you can borrow, first you will need to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan.
Seller
Contact your Realtor for a market analysis on your home. Realtors are trained and educated to follow market trends and study values. A Realtor can quote you current market value at any time saving you appraisal fees.
BUYERS
The first step to purchase a home is always to consult a Realtor for professional advice and guidance. Your chosen Realtor will put you in touch with a loan officer who can explain your financing options and get you pre-qualified to start shopping.
AGENTS
Although there are no guarantees, in most cases the seller pays the Realtor fees.
