What is the First Step of Buying a Home?
This is a question I get often, and if you’re reading this, then you’re already on the right track!
The quick answer is to build a team that you trust.
The process will look a little different for everyone, but choosing your real estate agent should be your first step. During our initial consultation, we will go over your goals, lifestyle, and what you need in a home. Then we discuss the timeline and what to expect from start to finish, including funds you’ll need to have available before we look at properties; I want to create realistic expectations and help you be as prepared as possible so you can move forward confidently!
You’ll also need a lender if you need a loan to purchase a home.
A lender will do a deep dive into your finances and evaluate financial documents to see what type of loans and programs you may qualify for. They may suggest some credit repair, debt payoffs, or other solutions to help you get into the best financial position for home ownership. If you don’t have a lender, don’t worry! I have several local lenders to recommend that will take great care of you. You’ll be in frequent contact with your lender once you are preapproved for a loan, so making sure they are available when you need them is important!
Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and I get it; taking the first step can be overwhelming. But having the right people in your corner can make all the difference! I want you to enjoy the process as much as possible.
