Time to go house hunting!
With the right agent and your finances ready, it’s time to look.
Explore
Drive through neighborhoods, review listings online, and schedule showings with your agent. Ask about long-term resale potential and neighborhood trends.
Narrow your search
Work with your agent to set priorities: number of bedrooms and baths, yard size, specific school zones, commute time, and other must-haves. Clear criteria help your agent focus on the right homes.
It’s time to buy
When you find the right property, your agent will prepare a strategic offer. They’ll analyze comparable sales, review potential costs, and include protective contingencies. Your agent drafts the purchase agreement and advises on home warranty, escrow, and title items. While your agent guides the process and provides recommendations, final decisions about price and terms are yours.

Tips For Buying The Perfect Home
Don't Max Out Your Budget
Approved loan amounts aren't a target to reach. Reserve funds for closing costs, taxes, and repairs or upgrades.
Get to Know the Area
Confirm schools, commutes, retail, and neighborhood fit before committing.
Don't Skip the Home Inspection
A thorough inspection uncovers issues you might miss and gives you leverage to negotiate or walk away.
Get Pre-Approved
A pre-approval shows sellers you're serious and ready to move quickly.

Resources For Charlotte Home Buyers
The journey to homeownership starts by understanding how much you can afford. One major thing to consider is your down payment, if any. Many consumers believe it's impossible to buy a home without at least 20 percent down. But thanks to various government-sponsored programs, many people can now buy a house with as little as 3.5 percent toward a down payment. Veterans of the U.S. military have zero-down programs available.
