Determine your housing needs.
How long do you intend to live in your new home? Would you like you home in close proximity to beach, shops, restaurants, and more? These are the sort of things you should consider when deciding what kind of house you will need--not just now, but also five years from now.Let your agent know what you want.
It's up to you to tell your agent what you want and how you want to be involved in the home search process. Some buyers prefer their agents to handpick properties for their consideration; others want to receive the hotsheets periodically so they can comb through the new listings themselves. You should listen to your Realtor's advice, but always remember that you're the boss and it's your decision.
