Once you find a home that you would like to buy, the next step is making an offer on the house.
If you have a buyer agent, the agent will show you the comparable sales in the community and help you determine a purchase price.
You may have watched TV shows or read books about offering 50% less than asking price but in reality it is not common. The agent can show you all the sales and the list price and final sales price of the homes. If a home is priced below market it may be priced to sell quickly and there may be multiple offers . It may sell for more than list price. The agent is the best person to guide you but do not just take the agent's word , ask to see the comps.
Hire an attorney to prepare the agreement of sale or have the agent prepare it and have attorney review it. Your agent can tell you about state laws on making an offer to purchase.
