Our Process to Buying a Property
Planning
Buying a home is a major investment so it’s important that you’re all in before taking the next step and contact a realtor.
Hiring
We want to be your partner in this journey, call us and let’s make it official. We’ll schedule a sit down to go through a detailed proprietary questionnaire, helping us understand who you are and what you’re looking for. It’s this Q&A that is the basis for our tailored approach.
Financing
Take time to understand your budget. Lenders generally recommend homes that cost no more than three to five times their annual household income if the home buyers plan to make a 20% down payment and have a moderate amount of other debt, but this is based on your own financial situation. Getting a mortgage?
Lifestyle
A contributing factor to all other considerations. How big is your family – home size? Do you have pets – yard required? Are outdoor activities, sports important – proximity? Do you entertain a lot? We provide a concierge style service to ensuring your needs are met.
Home Criteria
How many total sq. ft. do you want? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? Big yard or small? What is your garage preference? Tall ceilings? We understand home construction and can renovate.
Location
Location is a critical consideration. What part of town, urban or suburban? What proximity to work, entertainment and shopping is ideal? How important are school districts? We know the Greater Cincinnati community well.
Neighbourhood
Neighborhood understanding is vital, are you open to paying a Home Owners Association fee? Do you prefer urban living in a high rise with shared facilities or a home with yard? School district considerations? Security and crime considerations?
Unseen costs
Awareness of Unseen Costs is important. Tax considerations? Are you open to HOA and/or maintenance fee costs? Will the home require any renovations and is that within your budget?
Right Agent
Having the right Agent is essential to success. Sparen Realty agents have a deep understanding of the Greater Cincinnati community and all things real estate. You’ll see the difference immediately.
