Is this your first-time shopping for a home? Prepare for a slew of surprises. Purchasing a home appears to be like reaching for the stars... obviously impossible. When I started looking for homes, I read a lot of blogs and did a lot of research. It looked pretty straightforward; get pre-approved, get a realtor, visit houses, make an offer and that’s it. The entire journey was a lot more complicated than we expected. Despite having one of the best realtors, there were so many things that surprised me and we ended up googling or asking a million questions.
