Top tips for savvy home buyers If you want to realize the dream of homeownership, there are steps you can take to educate and prepare yourself for the most important purchase of your life. Following are several important tips for prospective home buyers to keep in mind — both before and during the home search process. GET PREAPPROVED Mortgage qualification is essential when buying a home, as it gives buyers preapproval for a loan before they make any offers. Making an offer on a home before you know what the bank is willing to lend you is a waste of time for everyone involved, including you, the seller and the real estate agents involved. Some agents will not show a home if you don’t have a loan preapproval. Once preapproved for a loan, don’t take any steps that might put that approval in jeopardy. This includes anything that might drastically alter your credit score.

Plan ahead to realize the dream of homeownership. STOCKBYTE

PLAN FOR UNEXPECTED COSTS Don’t allow yourself to be blindsided by unplanned expenses. First-time home buyers, once they have moved into their home, sometimes experience some sticker shock when they meet with the additional expenses associated with homeownership. These expenses include property taxes and insurance. Even if you’re buying a condominium or co-op you should expect monthly maintenance fees — even if your new place is brand new and needs no maintenance. DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD Don’t buy a house that you can’t afford. Buyers should avoid shooting for the moon when it comes to buying a home; only buy one that you know you can afford. And remember that

what the bank says you can afford isn’t necessarily the same as what you know you can afford. Don’t get in over your head, no matter how large of a loan the bank approves for you. GET AN INSPECTION Don’t skimp on the cost of a home inspection. Even if a house appears to be everything you want, don’t close on the sale until the house has been thoroughly inspected. The old adage that advises against judging a book by its cover certainly applies to buying a home, and prospective buyers should enlist the services of a qualified inspector before closing on the sale of a home.

SUMNER COUNTY GALLATIN | HENDERSONVILLE | PORTLAND | WESTMORELAND | WHITE HOUSE

SUMNER

Measured growth, eye toward the future are part of Sumner’s appeal With one of the best high schools in the state, a new mass transit plan in the works, a growing health-care infrastructure and a wealth of recreational opportunities, Sumner County has plenty to brag about. This area just northeast of Nashville offers a quality of life that many new-home buyers find attractive. Residents here enjoy the hometown feel of cities like Gallatin and Hendersonville but appreciate the nearby big-city perks of Nashville. EDUCATION The county’s largest city, Hendersonville, is home to Merrol Hyde Magnet School, named the third best high school in Tennessee in U.S. News & World Report’s most recent ranking of America’s Best High Schools. Gallatin (the county seat) is home to Volunteer State Community College, a public two-year college that offers associate degrees, certificates and continuing education to Sumner County and the surrounding area. With more than 70 academic programs and classes offered both on site and online, Vol State is an educational and economic asset to Sumner County and the entire region. HEALTH CARE Sumner County is home to three medical facilities: Hendersonville Medical Center, Sumner Regional Medical Center in Gallatin and Northcrest Medical Center in Springfield. Sumner Regional opened a new dedicated pediatric unit in late 2011, and Hendersonville Medical Center kicked off a $3-million expansion of its critical care unit in September of last year. HMC is also accredited to assess and treat chest pain and joint problems. RECREATION The Gallatin area is a sportsman’s paradise; fishing and boating opportunities abound along the county’s miles of shoreline on Old Hickory Lake, as do lakefront homes. The Gallatin Civic Center has a double gym, indoor pool and racquetball courts. Dog owners can let their pets run free at Triple Creek Park in Gallatin. Hendersonville has an extensive system of greenway biking and walking trails with plans to expand its bike trail system. Several golf courses dot the county, including Country Hills Golf Course and Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club (both in Hendersonville), and The Club at Fairvue Plantation and Long Hollow Golf Course (both in Gallatin). GROWTH The Gallatin City Council has given the green light to a first-of-its-kind community in the area: a transit-ready

Volunteer State Community College is a public twoyear college located in Gallatin. SUBMITTED development. Greensboro North will be a mixed-use community built to offer ready access to Metro Nashville’s regional transportation system, which includes plans for a northeast corridor transit line stretching from Gallatin to East Nashville. Initial plans for the community include a bus rapid transit system with a later transition to light rail. Through careful planning and sustained economic growth, Sumner County continues to build on its existing assets, which helps it attract more workers, more residents and more business. It’s easy to see why home buyers and builders find this an appealing place to live, work, play and do business.

CHEATHAM

Come home to pastoral living If you’re looking for peaceful country living that is just a stone’s throw from the city, look at Cheatham County. With wooded hillsides, open farmland, and scenic rivers and lakes, the area offers an attractive and pastoral setting. The communities of Kingston Springs, Pegram, Pleasant View and Ashland City provide residents with a neighborly feel despite the county’s rapid expansion. Plentiful, affordable housing is found throughout the county, with choices of suburban or rural settings. Residents have the best of both worlds: a serene setting with easy access to city life and jobs. Sidewalks and lighting have given downtown Kingston Springs a sleek new look. Local restaurants include Red Tree Coffee. Because of numerous community events, residents have many opportunities to meet throughout the year. Pegram is a great place to raise a family and is quaintly referred to as “The Pretty Little Town of Pegram.” The town has its own special treasures. Popular places include Finch’s Country Store and Mud Puddle Pottery Studio, which offers pottery workshops and classes.
