If you are a first-time home buyer in Miami, you will probably want to work with a broker. Brokers know the market and can be a valuable source of information concerning the home buying process.

Make sure that the broker has access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
This service lists all the properties for sale in the Miami area and by most major brokers across the country. 

Once you've determined a price range and location, you're ready to look at individual homes. Remember that much of a home's value is derived from the values of those surrounding it. Since the average residency in a house is seven years, consider the qualities that will be attractive to future buyers as well as those attractive to you.

Although it can be difficult, try to remember that you will probably want to sell this home someday. The more research you do today, the better your decision will look in the years to come.
