Buying

Buying a home is a big decision.  You want to make the right decision.  That is why I believe you should look at as many homes as you need to in order to make that right decision.  Let me help you. When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions!  Location, style, size, price are all factors to consider. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, but it can be an enjoyable and satisfying one.

 

While at your side each step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own. I will help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending the actual purchase.

 

Your satisfaction is my top priority!  I want you coming home thinking "Gee, I am glad I am home.  I'm happy here."  I don't want you coming home thinking anything else.  That is why we will look at as many homes as you wish.  There will be no pressure.  I am not satisfied until you are.  I will take the time to listen to your needs and desires and help you find your dream home.  Become a member on this site and get listings that match your criteria e-mailed to you as soon as they are available, automatically!

 

Your First Step

Your first step to buying a home is to first ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house? Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."

 

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

 

Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Someday you or your heirs will want to sell. Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
