HOW TO
Prepare to Buy a Home

Talk to mortgage brokers.
Many first-time home buyers don’t take the time to get prequalified. They also often don’t take the time to shop around to find the best mortgage for their particular situation. It’s important to ask plenty of questions and make sure you understand the home loan process completely. I can offer referrals to several great and local lenders I have worked with in the past!

Be ready to move.
This is especially true in markets with a low inventory of homes for sale. It’s very common for home buyers to miss out on the first home they wish to purchase because they don’t act quickly enough. By the time they’ve made their decision, they may find that someone else has already purchased the house. Check your emails often as I send regular emails with new listings!

Find a trusted partner.
It’s absolutely vital that you find a real estate professional who understands your goals and who is ready and able to guide you through the home buying process. I love what I do and will make the process as easy as possible, and have a few laughs along the way! If speedbumps arise, we don’t stress, we find a solution.

Make a good offer.
Remember that your offer is very unlikely to be the only one on the table. Do what you can to ensure it’s appealing to a seller. I will help guide you with pricing, contingencies, make sure our offer is fair, stands out from other buyers and is within your budget.
Factor maintenance and repair costs into your buying budget.
Even brand-new homes will require some work. Don’t leave yourself short and let your home deteriorate, especially if this will not be your forever home and listing it is in your future.

Develop your home/neighborhood wish list.
Prioritize these items from most important to least. My goal is to find you a home with everything on your wish list.

Hmmmm... not hating this idea!

It is ridiculous if someone sees a cartoon character in real life. So how do you feel if you saw bigfoot on your own eyes? However, bigfoot been spotted while hiding in a house listed for sale in Felton, California. This bigfoot was captured while performing baking, doing yoga, chilling and reading....
