a. Look for an agent and give him a detailed instruction of your preferences so that he can give you a listing of available properties. You will surely save time and money if you do this.
b. Check out the listing and select the properties that you would consider buying and make your own list. This can also save you time and money and you can avoid touring the entire city looking at every property for sale.
c. The moment that you have made a decision, make sure that you check out the property yourself so that you will know whether the neighborhood is safe. Verify whether there are plumbing problems or leaks on the roof. You can also ask around the neighborhood and try to find out about the crime rate in the area. You can also ask about the family who previously owned the house and try to find out why they put the property on the market.
d. Unless you are capable of paying the property straight up, you can consider getting a loan to pay for the house. For you to compare your options and weigh them, you need to also do your own research. But if you have your agent, he can do this for you. He probably won't even need to research because he must know these things already. While it's good to have someone you can trust, it will be best if you could try to understand what's happening. After all, the amount involved will probably be not cheap.
e. When a price has been agreed upon and you think you're ready to close the deal, close it. And then you can leave the legalities to your agent.
