THE BUYING GUIDE

A little preparation.
A clearer path home.

Start with the questions that help an agent understand your move.

Describe the life you want there.

Write down your preferred area, commute needs, property type, and must-have features. Separate the essentials from the things you would like if the right home offers them.

Bring a realistic timeline.

Consider your lease, moving plans, and whether you need to sell another property. Tell your agent what is fixed and where you have flexibility.

Know what to ask about your budget.

Before choosing a price range, discuss your financing and full monthly housing costs with a lender. If you have a pre-approval, bring its date and key terms to your conversation. You do not need to upload financial documents to PorchIntro.

Interview for the fit.

• What experience do you have with homes in my price range and target area?
• Who will I work with day to day, and how do you communicate?
• How do you help buyers evaluate a property before making an offer?
• What services and fees would our written agreement cover?
• What happens if our working relationship is not a fit?

Keep your introduction focused.

Share your location, timing, budget, financing readiness, and any existing agent relationship. Those details help Robert assess the next step.
