Acquiring our first property may a daunting task that seems far in future for some university students, but having advice, given by Amy Hoak, a Wall Street Journal columnist, may have us saving money when we do decide to look into real estate.<\/p>\n

According to Bill Golden, a Remax real-estate agent in Atlanta, anxious sellers, who have listed their houses for the summer, are eager to sell their properties before the holidays come.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, sellers who are unable to sell may simply allow the property listing to expire and wait until the next season to re-list in the market. According to Mr. Carlisle, a Paragon Real Estate market analyst, it is best to make a lowball offer on houses that have been sitting on the market for a long time, thus ensuring that buyers are saving as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Here are six tips that Ms. Hoak recommends future home buyers to be aware of before making a lowball offer:<\/p>\n

1. Understand the Market<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Pick the right real-estate agent\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Back up your price\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Know what you\u2019re willing to pay\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Make a clean, easy offer<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Be smart about a cash deal\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
