Newport Beach Buyer Tips | Suggestions for Newport Beach Home Buyers

If you are considering purchasing a Newport Beach home and there are many steps to consider when beginning the home buying process. There are important preliminary steps which should be considered prior to beginning your home search.

1. Meet with a Mortgage Professional and get pre-approved before you start looking for a home. This is so important because a lender will look at your financial picture and will let you know the amount you can be pre-approved for. This is crucial because then, you can look at homes in your price range. If you do not have a Mortgage professional, please contact me as I can provide you with referrals.

2. Select your Newport Beach Realtor. You may want to interview agents as to who you feel the most comfortable with. Ask questions. Are they local? Do they know the local inventory?

3. Selecting what Newport Beach area you are interested in living in. Consider the location of where you are looking to live. What is important? Is lot size important, walking distance to schools, walking distance to dining and/or shopping? Newport Beach offers diverse living situations from beach front to bay front, there are many different options to consider.
