Welcome > For Buyers > First Time Homebuyers ...

Buying Your First Home? We Specialize in Helping First-Time Homebuyers Learn the Process. Make Sure You Have Your Own Realtor as A Professional Guide.  

It's natural to be a little nervous or apprehensive about buying your first home because it's a lot of money and there's a lot involved. We'll guide you from beginning to end, and take time with you through every step of the process. There are no dumb questions so ask us anything. 

Together we'll consider: 

- How much can you afford to borrow. 

- How much you can afford to pay back monthly. 

- How to qualify for a mortgage. 

- How much cash you should put down. 

- How to buy a home with little or nothing down. 

- What it takes to get approved for financing. 

- What banks and other financial institutions are looking for. 

- How much your payments will be. 

- The tax advantages of buying. 

- Is renting or buying better for you? 

In the space below, if you'll tell us about your situation, we'll get back to you quickly, and you won't be under any obligation.
 

Are you a first-time home buyer? We specialize in addressing your concerns and helping you become educated in the home-buying process. Ask us all the questions you want; it's our job to answer them, and there's no obligation. We're easy to get ahold of and easy to talk to...

Real Estate Tips
Making An Offer >Making Your Offer

When you find the right home, what can you do to maximize your chances of actually getting it? The first step you should take is to make a prompt offer.

Whether you are in a buyers' or sellers' market, taking too much time to initiate an offer can cost you money, especially if you are planning to offer less than the asking price or will be asking for special terms. If your offer is the only one on the table, the sellers will consider it, and if they don't accept it, they may make a good counter offer. While you are "sleeping on it", however, you risk the possibility of another offer coming in. If another buyer appears on the scene, you lose an important advantage while you and the sellers are going back and forth with offers and counter offers. A buyer who really wants that special house will make the best possible offer --as quickly as possible.
