Based on your checklist and pre approval amount your agent will set up a personalized portal that will deliver active listings to your email that fit your criteria as soon as they hit the market. It is a good idea to review the list of homes and determine if any of them are possibilities. Most buyers like to drive by to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and the proximity to their everyday activities. If you determine a particular listing meets your criteria, your agent will schedule a time to view the property.
