1. Work with a real estate professional. If you are looking to buy any kind of real estate you should work with a buyers representative that will look out for your best interests in the transaction.

2. Shop for the best mortgage. A real estate professional can help advise what the best loan is for you, and help make sure you do not get put in a loan that looks good today, but will rise dramatically in the future.

3. Get prequalified by a mortgage professional. This step will show sellers that you are serious and it will help speed up the closing process.

4. Decide what you want before you go out to look. Making two lists can be very helpful. One list should contain things you must have in a home and the other should contain the things you would enjoy.

5. Visit properties that have been pre selected. Hansen Homes will provide you with a full list of properties to choose from.

6. Take notes and take pictures of the homes you like while you are looking. Seeing multiple homes or condos can get very confusing and without notes or pictures it is impossible to remember the details.

7. Once you have found the home you like, it is time to make the offer. Hansen Homes will make sure you get the best terms and pricing available. You need an experienced agent on your side to make sure all of the details are covered.

8. Arrange for a home inspection. Hansen Homes works with the top inspectors in the area to ensure you are getting what you paid for.

9. Closing time. Once all of the necessary deposits have been made and the paperwork has been completed (including mortgage, title, homeowners insurance and any other paperwork required by local or state governments) it is time to close on your new home.

10. Prepare for life in your new home. Before rolling out the welcome mat, consider some moving basics: arranging for an alarm company, turning on electricity, water and gas, cleaning or replacing the carpet, and notifying your local post office of your new address. The best time for renovations is often before you move in.
