For home buyers, buying a home will probably rank as one of the biggest personal investments one can make. Being organized and in control will contribute significantly to getting the best home deal possible with the least amount of stress. It’s important to anticipate the steps required to successfully achieve your housing goal and to build a plan of action that gets you there.
Before you can build a plan of action, take the time to lay the groundwork for your decision making process.
Buying a home in Northern Wasatch Front,
First, ask yourself how much you can afford to pay for a home. If you’re not sure on the price range, find a lender and get pre-approved. Pre-approval will let you know how much you can afford, allowing you to look for homes in your price range. Getting pre-approved also helps you to alleviate some of the anxieties that come with home buying. You know exactly what you qualify for and at what rate, you know how large your monthly mortgage payments will be, and you know how much you will have for a down payment. Once you are pre-approved, you avoid the frustration of finding homes that you think are perfect, but are not in your price range.
Second, ask yourself where you want to live and what the best location for you and/or your family is. Things to consider:
convenience for all family members
proximity to work, school
crime rate of neighborhood
local transportation
types of homes in neighborhood, for example, condos, townhomes, co-ops, newly constructed homes etc.
It is impossible to find the perfect seller. But it is possible to find out which sellers are legit and which ones aren’t.
It is impossible to find the perfect seller. But it is possible to find out which sellers are legit and which ones aren’t.
The best seller is one who is highly motivated. A highly motivated seller is more likely to sell at a price that is less than his or her house is actually worth. And it matters that you find out why. Learning the reason why can help you get the price you want and help the seller get what they want: a timely sale.
When given the opportunity to meet with sellers, ask them why they are selling. The reason could be anything, such as a job change to a new location or financial problems. If you can solve their problem, whether it is cash related or time-related, do so. For example, if the sellers are highly motivated because they need to move quickly, give them a fast sale – and a lower price. If you can make an offer, even a low one, that gives them cash in a short time, they are more likely to accept.
There are also some sellers that you should avoid. Not every seller is as genuinely motivated as they make themselves to be. Some possible hints:

"Kelly was the most organized, hard working, and professional Real Estate Agent I have ever worked with."
Kelly was the most organized, hard working, and professional Real Estate Agent I have ever worked with. I presented her with several investment properties and she had her work cut out for her. Kelly came back to me with ideas and opinions about what we should do to approach these properties and I loved what advice she had to offer. They all moved and sold in a timely manner and she found me more properties that I could invest in moving forward. I highly recommend Kelly Lynn. She will go above and beyond for her clients. Thank you Kelly!

"Even in today's crazy housing market, she has helped me buy and sell homes, and my friends are in disbelief when they hear about my successful transactions"
Kelly is the best realtor in Utah. She has helped me with 4 transactions recently and I couldn't be happier. Even in today's crazy housing market, she has helped me buy and sell homes, and my friends are in disbelief when they hear about my successful transactions. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. She genuinely cares about people – not just her clients. She wants her clients to be happy with their transactions, while also being fair towards the other parties. Her interpersonal skills are invaluable. She is able to develop good rapport with loan officers and other realtors. She is always pleasant and great to work with. I would give her 100 stars if it was possible.
