Step 1: Know Your Financial Position

Before you start looking at homes, it is important to understand your budget.

Consider:

✅ Your monthly income
✅ Your monthly expenses
✅ Your credit score
✅ Your savings
✅ Your current debts
✅ Your desired monthly payment

A lender can help determine what loan programs and price ranges fit your situation.


Step 2: Get Pre-Approved

A pre-approval tells you how much you may qualify to borrow and shows sellers you are a serious buyer.

Benefits of getting pre-approved:

✔ Know your buying power
✔ Strengthen your offer
✔ Understand your estimated payment
✔ Identify possible financing options

Common loan programs include:

• Conventional Loans
• FHA Loans
• VA Loans
• USDA Loans
• First-Time Buyer Programs


Step 3: Determine What You Need in a Home

Before searching, make a list of your priorities.

Must-Haves:

☐ Number of bedrooms
☐ Number of bathrooms
☐ Location
☐ School preferences
☐ Yard size
☐ Garage space

Nice-to-Haves:

☐ Pool
☐ Home office
☐ Updated kitchen
☐ Large backyard
☐ Workshop
☐ Extra storage

Remember: the perfect home may not exist, but the right home can.

Central Texas offers a variety of lifestyles.

Popular areas include:

Waco

Step 6: Making an Offer

When you find the right home, your agent will help you determine:

• Offer price
• Negotiation strategy
• Closing timeline
• Contingencies
• Repairs or credits

A strong offer is not always the highest offer — it is the offer that best protects your goals.
