Buyer Tips
Deciding to Buy.
Purchasing a home is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make. Whether this is your first purchase or you are moving on to a different home that better meets your needs, this decision must be made carefully. I can help you with your first steps: define your needs, put together a "new-home wish list," and decide on a location.
Understanding Title to Appraisal.
Purchasing a home is not only the largest financial decision you will make, but it is also one of the most intimidating process you will survive. Understanding all aspects of the process will not only give you additional confidence, it ensures you will make the best decision.
Preparing Your Finances.
Now that you know what you want in a home and neighborhood, you need to find out what you can afford. The best way to do this is to get prequalification or preapproval for a home loan. I can refer you to a mortgage broker to begin the process. In most markets, preapproved buyers are preferred by sellers over those who are prequalified.
Moving In.
The hard part is behind you, but there are a few more steps before you can move in to your new home. In order to make this final step the smoothest, it’s advisable to create a moving list that is customized for you and your family. This checklist should be grouped by timelines since some tasks will take longer than others.
Making the Deal.
Now you are ready to embark on your home search — an endeavor that can prove overwhelming if not approached with some forethought. The most efficient route is to allow me to do the initial scouting for you. Using your wish list as a guide, she will alert you of new and existing listings that have strong potential.
