So….You’re thinking about buying a home?
If you’re a First Time Home Buyer the task of purchasing your first home can be daunting and lets be honest, a wee bit scary.
There’s good news though – a great Real Estate Professional is going to become your new BEST FRIEND!
We’ll be doing a series of blogs for First Time Home Buyers detailing out all the exciting things about purchasing a new home, but first lets dip those new home buyers toes in the Real Estate Waters and tell you the 2 MOST important steps! Hiring the right people to work for you!
Step 1 – Find and Interview a Real Estate Professional or 3! Sometimes the 1st Realtor isn’t the right fit for you – be comfortable interviewing multiple realtors. After all, you’re going to be together for a while! The average Contract Period once you have an accepted offer on a home is 45-60 Days and having a great relationship with your Realtor is key.
Step 2 – Get Prequalified with a GREAT Lender to find out what you’re qualified for! Â Take some notes from your Real Estate Professional – they are guaranteed to know who the best Local Lenders are! After all, you don’t do this everyday, they do! Â Did you know that Condos and Single Family Homes have different PreQualification Limits? What type of loan is going to be the best for you? Â Your Lender can answer all those questions and SO much more!
In the Upcoming Series of Blogs, we’ll be discussing:
~ How Many Home’s Does it Take to Find the Right One for Me?
~ The Age Old Question, What in the World is Earnest Money?
