Buying a home is a big decision....

We at Starfleet Realty will never pressure you. 

Instead, we will let you know the realities of the market and then let you decide for yourself.  Here are some suggestions that can help:





  • USE A REALTOR!  Realtors know much more about the housing market and are skilled negotiators—their job is to help you
  • Get pre-qualified.  It is critical that you know exactly how much you can afford.  It would extremely disheartening to find your dream house and then find out you can’t afford it.
  • Always get a home inspection, but realize that there will be some issues with most homes.
  • Remember that there is no such thing as the perfect house.  Every house will have some little thing that you will find fault with—it may not be in exactly the right neighbo rhood, it may be a tad smaller or bigger than you like, the layout will not be exactly right.  However, you will be able to make the place your own!




  • Don’t get too emotionally attached to a home and avoid making buying decisions based solely on emotions.  Of course, there are some houses that make your heart jump with joy, but let your Realtor be your voice of reason.
  • Keep an open mind and talk over your considerations with a friend and your Realtor.  It is sometimes helpful to get a different perspective.
