Home Buying Guide

Understanding all of the steps is a great way to begin

From finding the right agent to getting your keys, learn the basics of how to buy a home.

Step 1: Determine your budget

Even before you start searching, you should determine how much you can afford with an online tool like the Bashe Agent Home Affordability Calculator. Just plug in some basic information to get an estimate of how much you can spend on a home.

Step 2: Get pre-approved for a mortgage

Sellers are typically more willing to accept offers from pre-approved buyers, because it shows that the buyer has the financial resources available to make good on their offer.

Get quotes from multiple lenders and go with someone reliable. Read online reviews of each lender and consider their responsiveness, transparency, and estimated closing timeline.
