Time To Start House Hunting
Once your finances are in order and you’ve selected an agent, it’s time to begin your search.
Explore
Visit neighborhoods and browse listings online to get a feel for different areas. When you find a property of interest, your agent can schedule a showing and provide insight into long-term value.
Narrow Your Search
Work with your agent to define your criteria — number of bedrooms, location, amenities, and more — to focus on the right properties.
It's Time to Buy
When you’ve found the right property, your agent will help you prepare a competitive offer. They will analyze market conditions, costs, and property value to guide your decision.
During negotiations, your agent will draft the purchase agreement and advise you on contingencies, local regulations, and best practices. While they provide guidance, all final decisions remain yours.
When you are ready to get started, call us at 323.936.7337 or complete this short form and one of our agents will be in touch.

Tips For Buying The Perfect Home
Don’t Max Out Your Budget
Just because you’re approved for a certain amount doesn’t mean you should spend it all. Be sure to account for closing costs, taxes, and potential repairs or upgrades.
Get To Know The Area
Make sure the neighborhood fits your lifestyle. Consider proximity to schools, shopping, and other important amenities.
Don’t Skip the Home Inspection
A professional inspection can uncover issues you might otherwise miss, helping you make a more informed decision.
Get Pre-Approved
Pre-approval shows sellers you are serious and financially ready to move forward.
Make a List of Deal Breakers
Know your must-haves versus nice-to-haves. Avoid properties that require major changes beyond your budget.
Check the Age of Major Systems
Pay attention to key components like HVAC, roof, appliances, and water heaters, as these can be costly to replace.
Review HOA Requirements
If applicable, understand HOA rules, restrictions, and fees before purchasing.

Understanding your budget is the first step toward homeownership. While many believe a 20% down payment is required, there are programs available that allow for much lower down payments — sometimes as little as 3.5%. Veterans may even qualify for zero-down options.
