What should I do before starting my home search?

Buyers are always asking what they need to do before starting a home search. Michaela Lamb has the answers. 

First, find an agent with whom you feel comfortable . You will be spending lots of time together. This person will be advocating for you. Make sure they are honest and trustworthy. Hire them to work for you.

You should also get pre approved. Real estate agents can recommend a lender to their new buyer clients as well.
