Buying a house can be a big and exciting step in life. Here are some first steps to consider when buying a house:

Determine your budget: Before you start looking at houses, it's important to know how much you can afford. Calculate your budget by evaluating your income, expenses, and debts. You may also want to consider getting pre-approved for a mortgage to help determine your budget.

Identify your needs: Make a list of your needs and wants in a house, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, location, and features like a garage or backyard.

Contact Beth and Tim Staggs to be your Realtors: Beth and Tim can help you navigate the buying process, provide access to listings, and negotiate on your behalf.

Start looking at properties: Use online search tools or work with your agent to find properties that fit your budget and needs. Attend open houses or schedule tours to view the properties in person.

Make an offer: Once you've found a house you like, work with your agent to make an offer. This may involve negotiating on the price, contingencies, and other terms of the purchase agreement.

Get a home inspection: Before closing on the house, it's important to have a professional home inspection done to identify any potential issues with the property.

Close the deal: Once all the terms are agreed upon and any contingencies are met, you'll sign the final documents and pay the closing costs to complete the purchase.

Buying a house can be a complex process, but taking these initial steps can help you feel more prepared and confident as you move forward.
