Should I find a home before talking to a lender to be pre-qualified? | |
|
|
 |
|||||
|
|
|
|
||
|
 |
If you do not get pre-qualified to find out how much you can afford, you may be setting yourself up for a disappointment. It is much easier to find a home, once your pricing is set. Get pre-qualified now. |  |

Will I get better service, if I look at homes with several different agents? I don’t want to miss out on homes that get listed. |
|
||
|
|
Actually, you may get worse service with multiple agents because you will not be on the priority list of any one of them. In addition, you will probably be shown the same houses, when you go on an appointment. In essence, you will not be the winner in this situation. Every listing on the MLS is at your fingertips on the eHome.com site. Once you determine your criteria, you’ll have access to the most current listing data available. eHome’ partner Agents are there to show you any homes you would like to see. Just call us at 877-650-3200. |
