Lesson 3
Beginning Your Home Search
This is the fun part — but it’s also where strategy matters most.
Overview
This is the fun part — but it’s also where we need to stay focused. The goal is to balance your must-haves with your budget and loan type.
The right search strategy helps us act quickly when the right property hits the market.
Behind the Scenes
- I’ll set you up on MLS alerts so you’re notified the moment a matching property goes live.
- I’ll screen homes for red flags, including properties that won’t pass FHA or VA appraisal requirements.
- I’ll track days on market and listing history to help gauge seller motivation and negotiation room.
Key Points
- Create two lists: must-haves versus nice-to-haves.
- Be prepared to act quickly — in competitive markets, homes can go under contract in 1–2 days.
- Not all online sites are accurate; my MLS feed is the most up-to-date source.
Tip
Don’t fall in love with photos alone — we’ll evaluate location, condition, and resale potential before making any decisions.
Important Note: Availability, pricing strategy, and market conditions can vary by area and over time. This lesson provides general guidance only. Your final decisions should always be based on current market data and your specific situation.
