First Time Home Buyers
I work well with individuals starting out on their first real estate purchase. The main reason is that I believe you should be fully “educated” to make this huge decision. By that I mean you should be: shown multiple choices (homes and/or condos), different areas of the city, made aware of markets, interest rates, equity, costs, we need to discuss your living requirements and then the really scary part – the purchase contract!
I like to start with a one to two hour discussion that covers all your questions and gets me started thinking like you:
- Lifestyle? How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need; do you require a garage; do you have children, pets or a roommate; are there any special needs such as a back alley, corner, quiet street; which area of area of the city …
- What do you want to spend? What do you want to pay vs. what can you afford; down payment; fixer upper vs. ready to move in; calculation of PIT …
- Technicalities? When do you want to move in; what`s your next step; how long are you going to be in this home; equity; possessions included in transaction; conditions …
First time home buyers need more attention, explanations and understanding to make their purchase an enjoyable and rewarding experience. When you`re looking to buy your first home, call Sue Saunders and get ready to enjoy the whole house hunting process!!!
