Buyers
Let me help you every step of the way.
When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions!
The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a
home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining
a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Although, once you
have determined that you are ready to move forward with the required
effort towards your home-purchasing goal, the rewards are unquestionable.
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 prepare so that sellers perceive you as a preferred
buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your
specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending
the actual purchase.
I am always familiar with the current homes on
the market, and I know neighborhood values well, so I can help you
determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition
before you start your search.
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.
Call me and I will refer you to a mortgage professional that has an
excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan
approval for his/her clients.
I will Find The Right Homes For You
Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to
stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by
using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.
I have the best possible resources and communication systems available
today to help you locate the homes on the market that match your
specifications. You can even search my listings here at my website.
