Buying A Home

How do you find your perfect home?

Helping YOU  is what we do!

Well, that’s entirely up to you. The best way to start your home search is to come up with a list of things you must have, things you’d like to have, and things you can do without. This way you can provide your REALTOR® with some guidelines for buying your new home.

Contact a REALTOR®, using the internet, newspaper advertising, visiting open houses or referrals from those you trust who have had a successful experience buying their home. Your REALTOR® will help you with a plan that works for the both of you, helping you focus in on the homes that fit your needs and requirements.

PRE-APPROVAL FOR FINANCING:

 

The first step is to find a REALTOR® that suits your needs:

Once you walk into the home that you feel is right for you… you need to be sure you can afford it, otherwise… why are you in there? Your REALTOR® will help you with a choice of lending advisors: Independent Mortgage Brokers, major banks or credit unions. Each has their own way of approving borrowers and financing properties. Once you know what you can afford, you and your REALTOR® will be able to focus on finding and viewing prospective homes.

Your REALTOR® will be able to help you sort through the many homes on the market so you can view the ones that fit you. You will determine the home that is just right for you as your REALTOR® assists you in viewing to compare the pros and cons of each home.

Together you will be confident you are purchasing the right home at fair market value. Your REALTOR® will be there with you through every step from preparing your offer to handing you keys and walking through your new home on your first day as owner.
