* Pre-Qualification; Meet with a bank or a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford in buying your dream home.
*Pre Approval; While knowing how much you can afford is the first step, sellers will be much more receptive to potential buyers who have been pre-approved.  You
will also be disappointed when looking at homes that are out of your price range.
*List of needs and wants; Make 2 lists the first should include items you must have (i.e., the numbers of bedrooms, bathrooms, basement, anything needed for the
size of your family.  The second list is your wishes, things you would like to have (pool, fireplace, den, etc.) these may not be absolutely necessary.  Realistically you may not get everything for your first home right away, but this will keep you on
track for what your looking for.

1;detailed maps with your areas of interest highlighted 2; a file of properties that your agent has shown you 3; paper and pen for taking notes as you search 4;
a camera to help refresh your memory on individual properties.
*Visualize the house empty and with your decor.  Are the rooms laid out to fit your needs?  Is there enough light?
