What should we be focusing on when shopping for a house? Besides the obvious stuff?
This is our first home and I feel like we are both really overwhelmed by the options and sheer number of houses available right now. We don't really know what we want and don't want. And our location is pretty wide. Any tips of things that you've liked/hated in homes?
And if we find a house we like, is there any tips you guys have for the whole offer, inspections, closing process?
Our realtor is a bit of a spazz and I'm tempted to get rid of her (FI doesn't like her either) but I feel kinda guilty because she's shown us about 20 houses over the past few months. But there's stuff that bugs me, like I feel like she's steering us towards houses she wants us to buy and she was trying to tell us that you have to spend $100K to get the house credit which isn't true and it bugs me because I wonder what else she doesn't know or is just pulling out of her a$$. Should we kick her to the curb?
Argh! This whole process is very overwhelming and makes me want to stay in an apartment forever.
