First Time Home Buyers
Buying your first home comes with so many different emotions! Many first time home buyers feel anxious, excited and occasionally very confused. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible by providing you with timely education, thoughtful strategies and consistent support throughout your home buying journey.
Where to Begin
Initial Meeting
Whether in person or virtual this gives you an opportunity to get to us. Ask all the questions you can think of! After sharing about ourselves and the buying process we’d love to hear from you. We’ll ask some questions to better understand where you’re at in the search and share some insights with you about moving forward.
Pre-approval
One of the very first things we recommend is for buyers to get pre-approval from a lender. Pre-approval is the process you’ll go through with a lender that sets the maximum loan size you can qualify for based off your income, debts and savings. We have several preferred lenders we would be happy to connect you with. By starting your home buying journey with lender pre-approval you’ll be better informed for what price point to be looking at and we can craft a strong offer since you’ve already gone through the underwriting process. Learn more about Pre-approval and other buyer FAQ’s here.
Criteria
What locations are you interested in? What amenities do you hope to have? What are you willing to spend? Knowing your priorities is critical in the home buying journey. We’re here to help you identify your criteria for the perfect home. You can get started by writing down a list of non-negotiable criteria you want for your first home. Whether you’re single or a couple it’s important to identify what’s most important to you. This will help guide our home search and help us target listings that match what you’re looking for.
