Tip #4
Make sure you Realtor knows what you are looking for.
Once you have a clear, detailed picture of the home you want, make sure your agent has the same picture. This communication is critical. Otherwise, you'll both waste your time looking at homes you're really not interested in. Also make sure you Realtor knows your priorities. Your shared goal is to find a place that meets all of your needs; your Realtor will then try to satisfy as many of your desires as possible.
A good Realtor will ask you several questions about what you're looking for and what you can afford. And they'll listen carefully to your answers.
