What to do when you are buying your first home:

Meet with a lender and determine what financing options are available to you and how much you can afford. Learn more about financing programs for first time buyers and what your agent can do for you.

Work with a Realtor, preferably a Buyer Representative. As your Realtor I will work to earn your trust and confidence so you can:

• Take advantage of my knowledge and experience in the housing market.
• Evaluate the value and price of all potential homes currently for sale.
• Structure an acceptable offer. Manage all the details from your accepted offer to the sale.
• Avoid pitfalls. I will offer advice and guidance along the way.
• Avoid unnecessary costs. More advice and guidance.
• Understand the laws of agency, the importance of a Sellers Property Information Report and why competent service providers (your home inspector and mortgage originator, for instance) spell the difference between a great buying experience and a not so great experience.
