Home Buying agents in Islamabad and Team - Knowing your home buying team and understanding what's involved in the process of buying a home can save you big bucks and make you happy with the home that you ultimately purchase. If you're like most individuals who are just starting to look for a home, you're not an expert on property values, financing, or tax and real estate law. And when your life savings are on the line, ignorance isn't bliss.

How can you find your way through the convoluted maze of constantly changing real estate market conditions, local laws, regulations, and tax codes? Where can you sign up for a crash course in home values? Even if you have the aptitude, how will you find the time to become an expert in so many fields?

Time and time again, smart people blunder into horrible situations while buying a home. More often than not, what gets them into trouble is ignorance of something that they should have known, but didn't.

Strangely enough, knowing everything isn't important. What is important is having good people on your team — people who know what you need to know so that you can solve the problems that invariably arise.

You don't have to become an instant expert in order to play the home-buying game well. You can choose to hire people who have mastered the skills that you lack. Home buying is a team sport. Your job is to lead and coach the team, not play every position. After you've assembled a winning team, your players should give you solid advice so that you can make brilliant decisions.

So who are the possible players on your home-buying team? Well firstly of all, you! Always remember that you're the most important player on your team. In nearly every home purchase, something goes wrong — one of your players drops the ball or doesn't satisfy your needs. You have every right to politely, yet forcefully, insist that things be made right. Remember that you hire the players on your team. They work for you. Then there’s your Real estate agent, because the home you're about to buy is probably the largest single investment you'll ever make, you must have someone on your team who knows property values. Your agent's primary mission is to help you find your dream home, tell you what the home is worth, and negotiate for it on your behalf to make sure that you don't pay one cent more for it than you absolutely have to.

Your Real Estate Broker, your Lender, Property inspectors and the escrow officer, who is basically the home-buying game's referee, and financial and tax advisors are all integral top your home buying team. Odds are, you won't win the game unless you have a winning team. But remember that your players are advisors — not decision makers. You're the boss and decision maker. The buck stops with you. After all, it's your money on the line.

    you need to remember though, that making a purchase in Islamabad is vastly different than the process abroad. you need to be excellent at judging people. don't you just get a vibe of someone? well trust your instincts! and make sure you pair up with a friend or relative who has local insight and understands the local language.. oh and wear 'local dressing' such as shalwar kameez, and let your friend or relative do the talking in local languages, even an urdu speaking friend is not enough, if you really want to get a good rate, have someone who knows punjabi or pushto at your side..
