House hunting
​
This part is quite simple, just hire a real estate agent.
​
Few good points why to hire one-
​
-Access to the MLS, which is the biggest online inventory of properties. You and I do not have access to it.
-Help you navigate the house buying journey.
​
-Familiar with the area.
​
-Can have knowledge of houses about to go to market, getting you in earlier.
​
-Be careful as they will always try to push the limit on your budget (higher commission).
​
-They are FREE. The norm is the seller will have to pay the commission of the buyer's real estate agent.
How to find a buyer's real estate agent? The best referrals are usually either from word of mouth or through online reviews.
