First Step to Buying An Atlanta Home

Most buyers want to get right out an start to look at Atlanta homes.  Afterall, with almost every other purchase, the buyer just looks at they want, check if they have money in the bank then buy it.  Buying an Atlanta Home is a little bit different. In fact, it’s in reverse.

First, the buyer should set their budget of what they want to pay per month then talk to a loan officer about what they can afford.  After they have been “pre-qualified” then they should find a good real estate agent to start looking for a home.

Some foreclosures and short sales will require this pre-qualification letter before even seeing the home, so it’s an important first step.
