BUYER SERVICES
There is a big difference between buying a home and selling a home. They require tailored duties and services at each stage of the process. It's important that you work with a real estate professional that can find you the perfect home at the perfect price!
5 Quick Tips for Home BUYERS
1. Start Saving Now
Start saving, the earlier the better and every little bit counts. One of the biggest first time home buying mistakes is having insufficient down payment or closing costs. 5% down is the legal minimum plus 1.5% for closing costs is the general rule of thumb
2. Find and Work With a Qualified Real Estate Agent
A great agent will help you navigate the complex world of real estate transactions and provide you with personalized advice to help you reach your goals.
3. Get Pre-approved for a Mortgage
Luckily for you I am a 1-stop shop! I have over 10 years of mortgage experience and can easily pre-qualify you in under 5 minutes. Before you fall in love with a home, it's important to know if what you can afford. You can get an estimate by using my Affordability Calculator
