I found a blog called Experience The Woodlands from an agent named Michele Flory in The Woodlands, Texas. I really like her series titled “Top Ten Facts To Know Before Becoming A New Home Buyer“. So far she’s released the first 9 installments. I will let you know when she writes the tenth. Here are links to the first 9:

1. Lot size and location
2. Accompaniment to the design center
3. Get clarity on upfront, non-refundable expenses
4. Get a Home Price Evaluation before you sign
5. Get the best loan for your needs
6. Watch for those appraised values
7. The home is new, why should it be inspected?
8. Market Knowledge
9. Do you need to sell your current home in order to purchase new?
