1. Define Your Budget Clearly
Before looking at listings, calculate your real budget — not just what you wish to spend. Include hidden costs like notary fees, taxes, and insurance.
2. Choose the Right Location
The location determines long-term value. Consider access to transport, schools, services, and future development plans in the area.
3. Get Pre-Approved for Financing
Knowing how much you can borrow saves time and strengthens your position when negotiating.
4. Work with a Trusted Real Estate Agent
A professional agent like Maramo Real Estate ensures you find the right property at the right price, while handling all paperwork securely.
5. Inspect Before You Buy
Always request a full inspection. Small issues can turn into big costs later.
