Buyer Tips On Finding Your Moscow Idaho Home
by Lori Cofer, "Your Moscow Real Estate Connection"
My name is Lori Cofer of Beasley Realty and I am licensed in both WA & ID serving Whitman and Latah Counties. I enjoy helping clients find the house that says home. Here are a few tips you might find helpful as you begin your journey to buying your new home.
GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER
Credit scores, your overall income, and your debt are all important factors in determining whether or not you will qualify for a loan and what the terms of your loan will be. Don't be afraid to shop around. But do shop for mortgage rates all at once. Rates change daily, so make sure you are comparing apples to apples. It is true that too many credit card applications can lower your credit score, but several inquires from the same type of lender are counted as one inquiry if done in a short period of time. So be prepared to do your shopping around as quickly as you can.
WORK WITH A REALTOR
Find a REALTOR®. They are the experts in buying and selling real estate. You may buy or sell a few homes in your lifetime, but REALTORS® deal with real estate transactions on a daily basis. Furthermore, real estate law varies from state to state and are not static. Real Estate is an ever changing business, and you need someone who is well informed to guide you through the complex process of a real estate transaction.
GET PREAPPROVED
This is a tremendously important step. Your want to begin your home search understanding your price range. You don't want to fall in love with a home you can't afford. Also, start looking at the low end of your price range. You never know what you may find!
BE REALISTIC
Make a list of needs versus wants. Start with your needs. Then make a list of wants or desires. Often buyers begin the process of looking at home, only to find out their perception of needs versus wants change. Be realistic about your list. And make sure you communicate that to your REALTOR
Do, however, keep an open mind. Remember, there is no perfect property. Focus on the top priorities of your list, and let the more insignificant ones or things that you can easily change go. Let's begin that journey!

Moscow Idaho is home to the University of Idaho, and is situated between beautiful Moscow Mountain and the rolling hills of the Palouse.
The university provides a broad cultural base, and the beautiful countryside a variety of outdoor activities.
If you love wide open spaces and a friendly community, Moscow is a great place for you. I would love to answer any questions you may have.

Testimonials:
J. & V. Doty
"We have bought and sold 4 other homes during our married life, and never have I had such complete confidence and trust in a Realtor. Lori was not only patient and quick to respond to our questions, but she always acted with integrity and honesty. She explained all the details along the way and was willing to go the extra mile to provide the most optimal exposure in print, on the web and in person for our home, in order to attract potential buyers. Lori is not just an exceptional Realtor, she is an exceptional person. It has truly been a pleasure to work with her."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your hard work andperseverance in selling my house in Pullman...The listing of this property came just as the real estate market started deteriorating with the economic downturn inmid-2008... Your dedication, professionalism and hard work are truly appreciated...With the outstanding service you provided, I can sincerely recommend you to your potential clients."
Marcella S.
""I am writing to let you know how much I enjoyed working with Lori Cofer. I came to Pullman as the personal representative of my late brother's estate...She was able to help me with the local market, helped me identify an estate sales manager, cleaning people and a local handyman. She kept everything on an even keel when the first offer on the house fell through, and kept in contact during the two months between the final offer and closing. It was good to work with someone like Lori during those uncertain times...""
