With so much to contemplate, Greg Brown, Director of LexisNexis Data Services, providers of the online Lexis® PropIQ search engine, offers first-time buyers a few tips to make life a little easier. “Buying your first home should be thrilling, not terrifying,” Brown says. “Yes, there are lots of important considerations to take into account but choosing your home should be the fun part!”
“Conducting your research in the comfort of your own home or at your desk saves time – and as we all know, time is money,” Brown concludes. “A reputable search engine will give you comparative prices for similar properties sold in the area, helping you to make a decision of what to offer the seller. By knowing the property’s amenities, you will also be able to determine the future saleability of a property you are considering, and how that location will meet your stage-of-life requirements.”
