I'm looking for a house with 4 bedrooms in a relatively good neighborhood. I don't need top tier schools or luxury stores nearby. I'm mainly looking at safety. I'm not sure how to communicate what I want with my real estate agents, but I'll eventually set up an appointment soon.

Looking for something like this
122 Sherwin Avenue

I'm looking for something between 200K to 300k. I'd prefer a 4 bedroom house because I want enough room for my future family.

This is my first time buying a home. I'm excited but I afraid because I realize alot of fraudulent selling tactics are ongoing. Any advice on real estate agents would be appreciated.

EDIT: sorry I thought the previous Huntsville thread was already anchored.

Looks like a wonderful house and nice plan you have Volod.

With real estate now, see if you can go in the county assessor's site, look up the address, see what it last sold for and your real estate should speak with you about comparable "comps" in the neighborhood you are looking at.

Is this a brag thread that you can afford to buy a home?

That is literally a brand new neighborhood. I believe it is in the county, so better schools then in Huntsville City limits on this side if town. Surrounding neighborhoods are nice, and would definitely consider it safe. As long as you are West of research park Blvd you will be fine.

Close to arsenal if you work out there, but traffic can be annoying these days. They are about to finish an overpass one street over which should help with your commute

No. More of a cry for help because as always, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Its not much of a brag considering that I'm actually buying a home later than most other couples.

banged a chick from there in 2012, worst smelling cooter I've been around.

And that's saying something.

Good luck!

As a fellow new home buyer (2 years) my advice would be to pay top dollar for an inspector and prepare to spend more time and money than you ever expected on maintenance and upgrading things.

You’ve now removed all doubt that you are, indeed, an idiot.

I've heard rumors that sometimes agents sleep with their clients. I always figured that was just a myth. At the most, something that rarely happens.

You have to get a roof replaced for that service
