Buying a Home
Windermere agents are relentless about helping their clients realize their home buying dreams. Search for a home above or scroll down to learn more about how to buy a house you're proud to call home.
Imagine your ideal home then make a list of everything you envisioned, such as the number of beds/baths, the style of home, and location. Then break that list down into high-priority items you can’t live without and lower-priority things that would be an added bonus. Use this list to guide your search online and with your agent.
Once you know how much you can afford and what you’re looking for in a home, it’s time to start your search. And the best place to start is online. Consider setting up a MyWindermere account so you’re notified every time something new comes on the market that fits your search parameters. Your real estate agent can also send you potential homes and take you to tour them in person once you’re ready to get serious. In the meantime, if you want some inspiration, you can peruse the pages of Windermere Living Magazine.
Before you can get really serious about becoming a homeowner, you’ll need to connect with a real estate agent who can guide you through the buying journey. This is probably one of the largest financial purchases you’ll ever make, so it’s critical to have a full-service pro who understands the market and can expertly navigate you through the intricate buying process. Friends and family are a great source for referrals, or you can connect with a Windermere agent here.
