First Time Buyer – Where To Start?

To begin with, let me say…”First Time Buyers are an Absolute Pleasure to help”.

I feel rewarded…& I genuinely enjoy sharing my years of experience & wisdom – guiding You toward an Accurate Investment Decision.

Over the years…I’ve often heard, I’m completely new at this, so I have no idea what to really look out for.”

“Let me tell you, the biggest mistake you can make is diving in head first.  Simply calling the number on the sign & hoping for the best will not work.”

Don’t be overwhelmed.  I’m here to help you.

As far as “what to look out for”, I always like to stress future resale value.  Think of it this way…everything you’re considering right now (on a certain home) is everything a future Buyer will be considering as well when it comes time for you to Sell it.  So, things like whether or not it looks over a parking lot vs. a park, underground parking vs. open stalls, corner lot vs. cul-de-sac, etc.

Step #1.

Find a Real Estate agent you’re comfortable with.  An experienced agent will know & have access to tried & true proven Mortgage Brokers, Banks, Home Inspectors & Lawyers.  Keep in mind, we’ve been doing this a long time.  We’ve had time to weed through thousands of people to ensure you’re receiving the BEST services available.

Step #2.

Contact the Mortgage Broker we’ve referred you to.  It’s important to know where you stand with Financing BEFORE getting excited about a particular home.  They will most likely want confirmation of income, they will do credit checks & they will qualify you for an amount you’ll be comfortable with.  Remember, all interest rates ARE negotiable.

Step #3.

Ask questions.  There’s no such thing as a silly question.  Buying a home will affect your future.  Exactly how it affects your future depends on the choices you make right now.  When I say, “Put Our Years of Experience to Work for You”…I’m not kidding.

Step #4.

Begin looking at homes.  By now, we’ve had time to talk.  We know what you’re looking for & where you’d like to live.  Somewhere reasonably close to work & somewhere you’ll feel comfortable raising your kids & calling home.  We also have an idea of price range, given that we’ve dealt with the bank already.
