Get the house of your dreams!

If you don't have idea of what to do or how to start, we give you some steps to follow in order you can start this process of buying a house.

 

Commitment. Commit to buying a house. This may mean some cuts in your economy and prepare a savings fund for the acquisition of the property, as well as for notary and paperwork expenses. It is not only about having the idea of ​​buying a house, but about preparing in advance for all the expenses that this action entails and carrying it out.

 

Financing. If you need to request a mortgage loan, do it in advance. Before this loan is authorized, you must go through a list of requirements, an appointment with the advisor and a pre-authorization of the loan. Take into account your times and get advice from your real estate agent about the process.

 

 

Creation. If you believe it, you create it. Imagine the house you want to live in. Keep in mind that there are different types of houses: terraced houses, houses in residential areas, country houses, villas, vacation houses, duplex houses, etc. If necessary, make a sketch of what you would like to buy and include the aspects of the house that are not negotiable, for example, having a large kitchen, having two or three bedrooms, being in a good location, being a safe area in the city.

 

 

Inspection visit. Carry out an inspection visit to the house or houses in which you are interested and review all the details, such as the installation of windows, doors, locks, ironwork protections, water faucets, connectors and switches and works of blacksmithing. Do not be afraid to ask and demand any repair or improvement of any detail before purchasing your home.

 

 

Observation. Ask to some friends, work colleagues and even neighbors in the area about the safety of the place and how they describe or consider it. In addition, you should carefully observe the houses adjoining your future home and the neighbors you will have. If for some reason you do not like the neighborhood, because of its location or because of the neighbors, it would be good to have more options and continue visiting the next house. In this way you can compare the different houses and decide on the best option.

 

Consulting. Ask for help from professionals, who will recommend all the options that you as a client are looking for. They will take you by the hand to the areas of the city where you are interested in buying and they will look for the best option for you, according to your budget and needs. It will also help you in the process of signing and paperwork so that everything runs smoothly.
