Buyer's Guide

1. A buyer should always be pre-qualified by a mortgage broker before looking for property.
   This will determine a price range that is affordable. If you make an offer on a home, the
   pre-qualification letter should be included. Sellers want to know that you are a qualified
   buyer.
   
   
2. Decide what location would best suit your needs. Consider work location, family, friends transportation, schools, shopping, entertainment, etc.
   
   
3. What type of community would be best? A family community, active adult, gated, golf
   community, country club, intracoastal, beach?
