#3 Know The Market……
Take you time to educate yourself on the market. Know the area where you want to buy a home and get to know the market. Your Realtor should be able to provide you with data on homes in the area you want to buy a home. If you want to take the time to do it on line you get do it for free on TheBigOrangePress . On the front page of my site on the left hand side bar there is “The MLS Market Snapshot” Once you create a FREE account it will let you search all the data in the MLS.

Once you find the home you want to buy before you write an offer ask questions….Find out how long it has been on the market….Find out the seller motivation for selling….Has the reduced the price at all. Just by asking a few easy questions and knowing the answers you will be able to negotiate the best possible terms and conditions for you.

Don’t get too emotional about the deal there are alot of homes on the market in Knoxville. Be patient you will find one that works for you.
# 5 Get It Inspected……
Once you have an accepted offer get it professionally inspected by a home inspector. If there a major issues with the home you have the right to address them with the home owner or walk away. I will tell you every home has issues even new ones. Your home inspector is paid to find problems from the lose door knobs to the leaky roofs. Don’t worry about the small issues you are looking for major stuff. A good Realtor will be able to cover the major issues and get them repaired for you.
