The professionals you choose to work with can make or break your home-buying experience. It may take a few interviews, but the time spent searching will pay off. It's crucial to find a buyer's agent (I recommend using an exclusive buyer's agent, and here's why) AND a loan officer who are willing to take the time to discuss the process in-depth with you and figure out a strategy that fits your specific needs, budget, and goals.
Read a book. Research home-buying articles online. Check out the Resources section of this website for many helpful articles on an array of home-buying-related topics.

The more you prepare, the better-equipped you’ll be for your home-purchase journey.
