It’s not about buying A home –  It’s about buying YOUR home.

While it’s true that homeownership is a great long-term financial investment, there are many variables to consider and prepare for.

Understanding the buying process helps you set expectations around your wants and needs early on.  What might be a great option for your friend or colleague, may not be the best option for you.

Setting expectations is the best way for us to achieve your goals, together!

 

Things to Consider

Buying a home is likely the largest purchase you will make in your lifetime.  It can feel like an overwhelming process, but it doesn’t have to be!

Whether you’re buying your first home or starting the homebuying process again, it’s challenging to consider all the things you must know.

Homebuying comes with its own language that you never use anywhere else.

From the difference between prequalified vs pre-approved, mortgage rates, things you shouldn’t do when buying a home, to why it’s important to work with a realtor and deciding whether to rent vs. buy in the first place, the process could quickly overwhelm anyone.

As you break down the steps, it get’s easier!
