While house hunting, it's a good idea to make notes about what you see because viewing several houses at a time can be confusing. Keep track of your search, organize your thoughts and record your impressions.

Before you begin the home buying process, resolve to act promptly when you find the right house.

Every estate agent has stories to tell about a couple who looked far wide for their dream home, finally found it, and then revealed that "we love this house, so we'll discuss among ourselves and make an offer tomorrow."

Many times the story has a sad ending - someone else came in that evening with an offer that was accepted.
