Ideally you've taken the time to get pre-approved, and to find that perfect agent. So what's next in the home buying process? Here comes the fun part - finding that perfect home that fits you and or your family's lifestyle.
Your Nashville Real Estate Agent will help you determine areas and homes that are a match but before you jump right in to looking at every available house on the market you can save time and wasted energy by helping your agent know what you want in a new home.
Starting by making list of the needs of you and your family. Are you looking for more space, better schools, bigger yard, nearby shopping or entertainment? Depending on your stage in life this could be numerous items. We suggest making a list of items that are desireable to you and then let your agent do their job in helping you find that match.
Try creating a Wish List of Desireable Features. Have fun with this because the more you can give your agent the easier it will on them to give you the most options that fit your needs. Here is an example list to get you started.

Lastly make sure you takes notes and even photos of the homes you view so that you can remember what you liked and disliked about different homes. It's easy to forget the details when you've viewed many homes. Take a notebook and your favorite camera, you'll be glad you did.
