This is the time to be making your move in Real Estate! Whether you are a first time buyer, looking to move-up to that home that was out of your reach just a few years ago or down sizing. With today's low interest rate everyone has more buying power. We have many resources to help you along your way. Even if you have bought and sold real estate before it is always helpful to review so it is fresh in your mind.

  • Start by reviewing 'Steps in a Residential Purchase' this will help you be familiar with the common steps from start to finish of purchasing a home. Use the glossary for any lingo or terms you are not familiar with.
  • Next use our 'Home Buying Checklist' to help you determine your needs and wants in a home
  • Work with your Realtor (hope it is us) to have you pre-qualify for a loan. Your realtor will be able to recommend a lender that has a proven track record. You don't want a fly-by-night company that may not be able to preform and even jeopardize your purchase.
  • Check that you have the 'Funds Needed to Purchase a Home."
  • Don't forget to read '10 Things Not to do When buying a Home."

You are now ready to start the search for properties that meet your criteria. See my special app for 'smart devices' at the right and follow the directions. There are many sites you can use on the internet, but our property search is linked directly to the MLS and is up-to-date. We also have a special site for our clients that you can save home to or reject other ones, this information is sent to us and we an follow-up with the ones you are interested in and set appointments to tour the properties.
