When you're home hunting, what should you look for when viewing a home? Today, we want to give you some tips so you make informed buying decisions. If you know the answers to these questions, you shouldn't have trouble making the right decision for you and your family:

• Does the floor plan work for you? The floor plan is something you can't change without spending a whole lot of money, so make sure the layout of the home you're looking at is one that will work for you and your family. 
• Are the major systems in the home in working order? Does the furnace have a sticker showing the install date? Does the AC? Look for water stains on the ceiling and other little signs of structural damage. 
• Does the price of the home line up with neighborhood values? We don't want you to buy the most expensive home on the block and will ensure you're armed with this information. 
• Will the size of the home suit your family's needs? How long do you plan on living in the home? If you plan on starting a family, you want to buy a home that you will be able to grow into. 
• Do you love the home? Can you picture yourself staying in the home for an extended period of time? Don't purchase a home just because you're sick of looking at homes and want to get the process over with. You'll probably regret it.

Even if you forget a few of these things, you don't need to worry because we will be there doing them for you! We feel it's our job to ensure you make informed decisions throughout the process. If you have any questions for us, or if you'd like our help buying or selling, please don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love to hear from you!

If you're thinking about selling, how do you find out how much home you can actually afford? This is a question we get all the time, and would love to answer for you.

The very first thing to do if you want to buy a home in Canton is get pre-approved with a reputable lender. At Amy Wengerd Realty Group, we work with some of the best banks in Northeast Ohio, and they really take care of our clients. Plus, the pre-approval is free, and you can figure out exactly how much the bank is willing to give you for your new home.

Once you have been pre-approved, you can begin looking at all your financial options and figure out the plan that works best for your needs. Often, the bank will approve you for more than you can really afford, and that's fine - once you know what the bank will lend you, we can help you determine what amount you can comfortably make payments on each month. 

We offer free buyer consultations to find out exactly what you need and what your dreams are. Our goal is to get on the same page as you in order to help you achieve your personal and financial goals. For us, it's not just about getting you into a house, but finding you the ideal home that will fit your needs for years to come.

If you want a full team of experts at your disposal to help you make the best buying and selling decisions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!
