Ready to buy a home, but not sure where to start? Don’t worry – RE/MAX has you covered.

The brand’s new Homebuyer’s Guide is a comprehensive resource that helps people purchasing properties navigate their transaction from start to finish. Whether you’ve been a homeowner before or are buying a place of your own for the very first time, the RE/MAX resource provides valuable insight on factors like mortgage considerations, home styles, insurance, inspections, and more.

It goes in-depth into these four critical components:

1. Finding a trustworthy real estate agent
2. Getting pre-approved
3. Embarking on the home search process
4. Being prepared (financially and logistically)

The guide features a detailed (and handy!) home search checklist and a glossary of useful terms to help you understand each stage of your purchase.

Why does the homebuying process begin with a real estate agent?

Buying a home is the largest transaction most people make in their lifetimes. It’s best to do so with a trusted professional by your side – one who brings expertise and skills to the table on your behalf.

An agent does a lot more than show you prospective homes. With a deep understanding of their communities, these industry professionals can help you make informed decisions every step of the way. That removes the mystery from tasks like finding mortgage lending services, distinguishing wants and needs, constructing a smart offer, and negotiating with other parties, navigating home inspections and other closing procedures, just to name a few.

During the homebuying process, you’ll be in regular communication with your agent, so it’s great to work with someone who’s a compatible fit.

To find the right agent for you, ask your top candidates these questions
