Getting Started - All Buyers
Every buyer has their own set of needs. Understanding what your goals are for the purchase of a home is the starting point. The right fit isn't just the square footage, number of bedrooms or amenities. It can include other factors such as: What is the length of time you think you will stay there? Is there room for growth? Is it in an area consistent with your desired lifestyle? What are your "must haves"? Is it rentable should you have to leave in a down market? All things to consider...
With your criteria in mind, I build a Listing Search and reach out to fellow agents for properties coming soon but not yet listed. Properties that are of interest are visited by us and evaluated as to their potential to fit your needs.
When its time to write an offer, I will employ creative strategies to set you apart from other buyers and work diligently to make the deal happen. I'm there to guide you through the whole process to the moment I hand you the keys!
Buyers who are willing to do some improvements on their future home can benefit greatly from my background in interior and exterior design as well as my network of improvement specialists. I love to help and offer all clients 2 hours of free design consultation!
First Time Home Buyers
A mixture of excitement and nerves can come with the purchase of your first home.
There are so many aspects to consider: What can I afford with my current income? What are the associated charges with buying a home? Are there repairs and other expenses that I need to be aware of? How long does the process take? And many more...
My job is to educate and walk buyers through every step of the process. It's rewarding to support you through your fears and guide you to take the significant steps to home ownership. Many buyers think that a 20% down is required to purchase a home. This is not the case. There are many other options of loans for buyers that offer as little as 3-5% down. I'll help you look at your options.
Along with fixing your housing costs, creating tax savings and building equity, home ownership brings both pride and a more intimate with your connection with the community.
I'm here to help you achieve the dream of owning your first home!
