Home Buying Process

1. First talk to few realtors. See what they bring to the table. Most will say they will send you list of homes per your criteria. Some might claim they get dibs on homes that aren't even listed in MLS system yet. To me, the best one would be the realtor who can give a portion of their commission to you. They get 2-3% commission, some offer 0.5-1% back to buyers.

2. Bad idea. I don't know if one agent can represent both buyers and sellers, but conflict of interest tells me its a bad idea.

3. Depends upon the market. It is offseason right now, but still is a seller market in many part of the countries. if the inventory is high then you can offer low (depends upon how long the house is in the market) otherwise the asking price.

4. That's upto you. Some things people don't look into: is it in flood zone? Things people look into: what kind of school? How far is the grocery etc.

5. Any other questions?
