Creating Your Wish List After you talk with your lender to determine what price point you are comfortable with and qualify for financially, talk with your agent about the home you have in mind. With professional guidance, you should be able to find and buy the home you desire. To get started in the search, your Skogman agent will help you narrow down your preferences into a list of all of the must have/non negotiable features. Examples include distance from work, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Also, consider how long you’re going to live in this home. Will you need a home that will accommodate different life stages? Do you have or plan to have children? Are you approaching retirement? Your agent will utilize all of the available resources to find your next home: MLS (Multiple Listing Service), new construction, REALTOR® open houses, agent networking, off-market properties, HUD and bank-owned properties. You also have an opportunity to sign up for daily listing alerts, letting you know when a property that fits your criteria, hits the market.
