FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS RESOURCES

Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. From financing to negotiating to closing, there are a lot of moving pieces that can leave home buyers bewildered.

I will help guide you through each step of the buying process, offering sound advice and keeping you informed along the way. By working with a professional agent who knows the ins and outs of the real estate industry, you’ll not only end up with a great home, but you’ll also walk away with a great experience.

Here are some of the key areas that I can help you with:

Getting pre-approved by a mortgage lender

By providing me with some basic information about your income, savings, and debt, I can assist you in getting pre-approved by a reputable lender. The lender will then go over your financing options, what monthly payment amount you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs.  I suggest you research and find a lender that you trust, but click here for a list of mortgage lenders to get you pointed in the right direction:

Choosing a home

For most buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process. Let me assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at. From local community information like schools and zoning to home-specific details like condition and amenities, I will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Here are some homes to get you started.

Making an offer

Once we’ve found the home of your dreams, I will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a fair selling price. Based on those comparable sales, as well as other factors like inspections and repairs, I will then help you structure an offer and negotiate to get the very best deal possible.

Closing

Closing, or settlement, can be a complicated process. In some areas, the escrow or title company handles the closing process, while in other areas an attorney handles it. Regardless of where you’re buying, I can help ensure that everything goes smoothly.
