[QUOTE="plkdb, post: 7736321, member: 38288"] I stayed away from short sales because you can put an offer in, not know for 3 months, and find out you didnt get the house, wasting that time. Find a good realtor that your are COMFORTABLE with, dont sign a exclusive agreement with them. Check websites such as realtor.com, I used that and others to fwd houses I liked to my agent to help get him onbard more for what we were looking for faster. He would also pull the latest MLS listings and email them to me daily. When looking for a house, and you go to each house, explain what you like or dont like, your not going to hurt his/her feelings, its not their house, and will help you locate THE house faster. If you see a house you dont like, leave, dont waste time going through room to room, whats the point? There were houses I would open up the front door, and immediately walk back out. Get pre-approved for a mortgage, and get your credit score in order, makes you a stronger buyer. Once you think you have found the house, check out the neighborhood at different times (weekends, nights, mornings, etc.) Look over the fence. What does the neighbors backyard look like? I live with a HOA, so all the fronts of the houses look perfect, some of the backyards looked like bombs went off. Get a inspection done, and go through the house WITH the inspector. Your paying for it, and you'll be surprised how much you can learn about the house from him or her. Negotiate in a home warranty. [/QUOTE]
