The Two Ways to Buy a Home

There are two ways to buy a home: the shotgun approach and the surgical approach.

Shotgun Approach

This approach will end with frustration in one of three ways:

1. You view over 30 homes in-person, feel like there is nothing out there that you love, and you stop your search after months of looking. 2. You felt pressured into buying a house and aren’t confident that it’s the right house for you. 3. You found a house, but feel your agent or lender did not have your best interests in mind. You aren’t sure if you could have gotten a better price or better terms for the home.

Surgical Approach

This approach will usually end in one way: finding a home that you are confident is the right one for you.

You’ll know this home fits within your priority checklist. You will have experienced your agent and lender working directly with you to secure the best price and terms. In this book, we will focus on the surgical approach.
