Step-by-Step
- Set a realistic budget (include fees and taxes).
- Get pre-approved if using a mortgage.
- Shortlist neighborhoods and visit at different times.
- Inspect thoroughly—structure, plumbing, power, damp.
- Validate title and approvals with a lawyer.
- Use escrow for safer closing.
With a clear plan, your first home can be a confident purchase—not a gamble.
