[quote=Anonymous]go see the house today, do not wait. if the house is nice and the price good, it may not last until the open house (been there - house on the market on a Thursday, I went to the open house on a Sunday with family in tow for what would have been the perfect house for us, and the door never opened. it went under contract that morning - I thought that when there is an open house offers are considered after the open house and I was wrong). if it does, by going today you still have more time to think (for another house, on the market on Friday, we went to see it the same day, and again during the open house on Saturday and on Sunday - it was very useful in giving us the time to decide what to do - no offer) . also, you need to be preapproved for a mortgage now. shop around today and get something. again, the market has been on the seller's side recently, with homes in sought after areas priced right going under contract very fast. if you do not have your preapproval from a bank lined up you cannot make an offer and you may lose a good home. I worked with an agent because I had no experience whatsoever and working full time with kids needed some help, and appreciated the help we got from our agent (plus, if the seller has an agent going without an agent usually does not save you money since the seller's agent gets the entire 6% commission I understand), but other people on this Board apparently were happy without an agent, so I guess it depends.

so my advice, go see the house today, and do the mortgage shopping around, paperwork today. good luck[/quote]
