How to Hunt Houses like a frickin' angry pack of hungry African wild dogs chasing a gazelle.

Your house hunt can be exhausting, but it doesn't have to be. Avoid house blur, use the King Method, dodge frustration, ditch buyer fatigue, and use your time efficiently.

0:46 - How do you do this house hunting thing?
1:19 - Let's start at the beginning. I make tons of money, so I qualify for any house price, right? No, go talk to a lender first...even if it's a year in advance. Find out now where the issues are. Get everything lined up now.
3:58 - What type of home are you looking for? Investment, condo, townhome?
5:05 - You're prequalified, now what? Get input from trusted advisors like friends and family. What do you like or not like? Take that info, and compile a list of what YOU want. Trust your opinion more than the opinion of your entourage.
6:49 - Do you have to use an agent? No. Why would you want to go unrepresented? 1) Save your time and 2) reduce your liability.
8:52 - Ask you lender which agent to use. They should have a recommendation.
10:10 - You can get pricing data from a website, but it lacks the context an agent can bring. Be aware that non-MLS sites might already be sold in a market of limited inventory.
11:21 - You hired your agent to ask you the tough questions you may not want to confront.
11:45 - Have your list, and share it with your agent.
12:05 - The King Method. Pick one house, and only compare the house you're walking through against only one property...the king.
13:42 - Home Blur - when you see so many homes that they all kinda blur together.
14:20 - Biggest cost of business is your emotional capacity. It's not time or money - it's how much you can handle.
14:37 - The effect of buyer fatigue is real. Buyers get discouraged and they feel like they need to get something, so they end up settling on a house they don't like.
16:26 - What'd we learn today?
17:55 - Bloopers
