I work well with individuals starting out on their first real estate purchase. The main reason is that I believe you should be fully "educated" to make this huge decision. By that I mean you should be: shown multiple choices (homes and/or condos), different areas of the city, made aware of markets, interest rates, equity, costs, we need to discuss your living requirements and then the really scary part - the purchase contract!
I like to start with a one to two hour discussion that covers all your questions and gets me started thinking like you:
Lifestyle? How many bedrooms do you need; how many bathrooms; garage; kids; pets; room mate; special needs; back alley; corner; quiet street; area of the city ...
What do you want to spend? What do you want to pay vs. what can you afford; down payment; fixer upper vs. ready to move in; calculation of PIT ...
Technicalities? When do you want to move in; what's your next step; how long are you going to be in this home; equity; possessions included in transaction; conditions ...
First time home buyers need more attention, explanations and understanding to make their purchase an enjoyable and rewarding experience. When you're looking to buy your first home, call Sue Saunders at Maxwell Canyon Creek and get ready to enjoy the whole house hunting process!!!
