First find 2-3 realtors to interview and see who you are most comfortable with, people that you feel know the area that you are looking at, and seem to understand your personal tastes. ?If none of the first three are a good fit for you, keep interviewing.
Know what you want. ?Make a list of wants and needs. ?Know what you aren't willing to bend on and know what things "would be nice" if you could get them. ?Be open and honest with your realtor about these.
DON'T make any major credit purchases or job changes.
Ask your chosen Realtor who they would suggest to use as a lender, meet with that lender and decide what type of loan is best suited for you. ?Then get pre-approved so when you do see that dream home, you are ready and able to put a qualified offer in immediately. ?Housing is tight through out the country, and waiting a day or two to put the offer in very well can mean you miss out on your dream home.
I would recommend that the offer is put in with a response time of less than 2 days, don't let other offers get in the door while yours is in there, that might end up costing you thousands more to get the house, as it could start a bidding war.
Good luck and CONGRATS!!!!
EDIT: ?One other thing as it was talked about in another thread, once you have an accepted offer, make sure to get a home inspection. ?Once that is completed work with your Realtor to ensure that the proper corrections are made to the house, or credits for repairs are given.
