“The biggest advantage of an online portal is that a customer can get a bird’s eye view of what’s available in a particular belt of the city or even the whole city. The information is segregated in terms of budget, amenities, proximity to the station or a school etc.”

Property hunting can be a tough job, but not when you have the right real estate professionals and an understanding of what needs to be considered. So, without wasting further time, here are some tips we would like to share with you for the right ways to choose the right property:
Know the location of your choice
Location is an important factor when you’re deciding on investing in a property where you will be living in. The choice of location determines the length of your commute to daily important places as well as the community to want to be together with throughout your life. Examine the presence of educational institutions, hospitals and commercial centres in the vicinity before deciding on a purchase. Consider the distance between the nearest police station, fire station, parks and playgrounds. Apart from these, question yourself if you want to stay amidst nature such as a garden area with tree-lined sidewalks for your daily jog and where your children can enjoy their playtime? Would you like to have the luxury of recreational amenities for relaxing weekdays and weekends after a hectic workday?
Prepare a List of Must-Haves
Before you commence your house-hunting journey, prepare a list of the must-haves. Some of these may include spacious rooms, good ventilation, open spaces for the family members’ general health and well-being and so on. Open spaces and good ventilation lower stress levels, promote physical activity and alleviate depression. Apart from these factors, consider what you can and cannot live without to fulfil your daily comfort. Such flexibilities should be present so that you can customize or demand your realtor and look for properties that include the amenities of your requirement.
Presence of Basic Requirements
With the world rapidly changing and needs increasing, there are certain basic amenities that have to be considered. Parking facility, availability of running water, proper security and maintenance of the society are some basic requirements to be considered when choosing a house. These are critical to lead your daily activities smoothly and to safeguard the needs of your loved ones too.
Ensure a Physical Tour Before Purchase
The pandemic has changed the way people viewed the world earlier. Activities and decisions are now taken after carefully examining the health situation outside. Hence, the demand for virtual tours increased highly in every industry, which includes the real estate industry. However, there’s no denying the fact that virtual tours aren’t the same as physical tours to closely examine everything, especially when purchasing a house. You get a solid idea of the family dynamics. You can examine the flow of the home’s layout by spending time during an open house visit. Even if you aren’t planning on buying anytime soon, going to a few open houses help you match your internet findings to reality. Simultaneously, you get the sense of how much interest a house is getting and how keen individuals are to buy it.
Get Pre-Approved
Tracking down every house you see on the internet is exciting, but it may be discouraging if you don’t know your budget or what kind of finance, you’re eligible for. Hence, pre-approval offers to give you an idea of how much a bank is willing to lend you. Additionally, this also works positively to show sellers that you are serious about buying their property and this further assists in choosing the property as per your budget.
Search Pre-Market Home Listings
Some homes are deemed pre-market because they are not yet listed for sale on multiple listing service (MLS) platforms. Finding a home before it goes on the market could mean less buyer competition. You might catch wind of someone preparing a home for sale and be able to negotiate a sale before it is formally advertised. Traditional MLS sites may not list pre-market homes, yet many pre-market homes are listed on Protech Group.
We hope that these simple, yet important tips will prove fruitful for your home hunting journey. These are some crucial tips that everyone should know before buying a new property, be it residential or commercial. And remember, don’t get discouraged in the phase of searching for your right place as good things take time
