Buy Your First Home in 8 Steps: Step 2

Buy Your First Home in 8 Steps

A Guide for First-Time Homebuyers

Buying a home is the biggest investment you will make in your life. It can be stressful, overwhelming, emotional and exhausting. I believe with the right tools and education, you will feel confident and empowered to pursue your Real Estate dreams.

As a Realtor®, I am committed to helping first-time homebuyers confidently navigate the homebuying process.

Your Realtor®

There are so many moving parts in a real estate transaction your Realtor® should be able to confidently, explain every detail of the contract; the contingencies, addendums, timelines, etc. to you, the buyer.

You will spend a lot of time with your Realtor®. I suggest finding someone who you'd like to spend time with and who you can trust.

A Realtor® is a special designation and is a member of the National Association of Realtors®. As Realtor's® we have a fiduciary responsibility to put your best interest first. Realtors are held to a higher standard and a code of ethics within the Real Estate Community.

A Local Expert

When selecting a Realtor® it is important to consider their knowledge of the home buying process, their negotiating skills, their knowledge of the current market, and the surrounding areas. 

Find an agent who is familiar with the community and can help guide you to the areas that fit your needs, like a particular school or district.  

Realtors® know what “Red Flags” to look for when searching for homes the average person would overlook.

Buying a home can be an exciting time; but it can also be intimidating. Knowing the steps and who to work with can make that process easier, especially if you are a first-time homebuyer. 

Buyer's who are well prepared and organized, no matter the type of market, are in a better position to get the home of their dreams.

 

My goal is to help educate you on the process of buying a home from beginning to end, so you don't have to “wing it”.
