That is sooo right! A good realtor and loan officer are your best place to start...The realtor should spend about an hour with you explaining the process of finding out what you want...get you pre approved ( credit check, and an assesment of what type of mortgage fits best for you)
Then they will review the contract and the negociating process../.when you will need to come up with cash, and for how much....( inspections , earnest money..appraisals...)
And what type of representation you want to have. A buyers agent protects you and your wallet. The agent listing the house is protecting the sellers wallet. Know this!! Hire your own. they will explain the fees...typically the seller pays the agents on both side . Ask the agent what thier fee is and to tell you if it is covered by the sellers for each home you look at.
Have the agent show you several homes...this is a great way to be sure they are listening and know what you want. Good luck!! and happy house hunting!

A good Realtor, and a good mortgage broker. Do not settle for the first one you meet. Interview a couple and make sure you get a competent one.
