The Home Search

With moving recently we found there was a lot of things that can make it an exciting time and a lot of things that can make it a stressfull time. Having a family with little children the most important priority for us was to find a home that would work for us. Lot's of bedrooms and a nice yard, close to the school were our priorities. Luckily my husbands work allowed us to venture to our new location and set us up with a relocation specialist to help us with our needs.
Our first order of business was to find out how much house we could afford to purchase by recieving our mortgage quotes it's important to find a company you can trust to find you the best mortgage deals available for your individual needs. It's important to sort through the facts and fictions of the mortgage game to get to the place you are comfortable.
Once we had recieved our mortgage we were off to the new location to search for homes. We spent 1 morning with our specialist and looked a 4 homes that were ok but not what we really wanted. Mostly were in great locations but too much work to fix up and a little small. The fifth home we visited was perfect, lots of space in relitively good condition and just fresh on the market, we jumped on this one and luckily enough it is ours and we certainly love it. For sure the hardest part for us was shopping around for mortgages and once that was all done we quickly got on the game of getting the house of our dreams.
