VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Last week a Virginia Beach Real Estate Agent uncovered 5 essential tips that anyone looking to purchase a home for the first time should know. Even if it isn’t your first time purchasing a home you should take a look at this information.


Everyday more and more people are looking into purchasing a home for the first time. It is estimated that there are 2 million people purchasing a home for the first time every year. Basically, 1 in every 3 single family homes purchased is by a first time home buyer. This is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your entire life and should not be taken lightly.


In the article released by Top Producers Real Estate they provide some insight into how you could be wasting your time by looking at any house in person or online without getting one very important thing done before hand. If you don’t do this one thing then you could be looking at houses that, even if you love them, you will never be eligible to actually purchase. Even if you were actually eligible to purchase it you could then find out that based on your budget, and all the other fees associated with the home, it will be far outside your monthly expenses and you wont be able to truly afford it. So, you definitely need to get this done so you know what price range to look in and if your even eligible at all.


They address a big mistake that can cause a lot of wasted time and frustration by using Zillow to search for homes. Zillow provides a lot of great information but does not give accurate and up-to-date information on the current status of the home. Many people will spend hours looking at house they think they love to finally contact the listing agent and find out that the house is already under contract.


Another thing people do is they will try to save money by not having a real estate agent represent them and just try to call the listing agent themselves. What they don’t realize is the seller has already agreed to pay 6% to the agent. Traditionally the buying and selling agent split up the 6% but if there is no buying agent then the selling agent will end up keeping the whole 6%.


Lastly, they cover why it is important to have a real estate agent that specializes in the local area that you are looking to purchase in. Some one with this local knowledge could save you a ton of time looking at houses that aren’t a good fit for you. Anyone buying a home knows how important the area is and an agent can screen out the good ones right away so you only spend time looking at houses in areas that you like.
