Buyers:
Looking to buy a home. There are so many things to consider when purchasing a home. The decisions can be overwhelming. I would love the opportunity to make your experience easy, fun and exciting. Let me help you find a house and area that is just right for you. Remember, it cost you nothing to have representation, so why not use it.
What Buyers Should Know:
First Thing: Get Representation! It cost nothing to have an agent represent you and without it, you truly are "on your own". Please call me to understand more about how agency works and the importance of having it.
There are many stages in the buying process, from getting pre-approved to the closing table, there is a lot to consider and steps to take. I would love to help you through this process so please feel free to call me so that I can help better prepare you.
Things to keep in mind when looking for a home:
Get Pre-qualified. It is best to know where your at before you start to looking. It is no fun to Find a House and then come to discover you can't qualify for it. When you do Find a House, you will want to be ready to go. A home that shows well and is priced right will go, so be ready!
Know what you want and don't want in a home. It will save you time. I offer a free buyers consultation were we sit down and go through your wants and needs as well as the complete buying process. I want you educated and ready to go, it helps make the process so much smoother.
First time home buyers! Rememeber to keep the high cost items in mind, i.e AC, Furnance, Roof etc. Buying a fixer upper may not be the best thing, your first go round. Having a realtor who understands the buying process and what it's like to own a home, can be very helpful to you.
Keep the location of your Job, Family & Friends in mind when searching for the right area. Many buyers get hung up on how beautiful the home is and forget that they have to leave that home to go to work everyday. Your life style plays a big roll, so keep that in mind when picking a location
Expect lower maintenance costs with a brand-new home and higher with an older home, especially if the big ticket items have not been updated or replaced.
Never tell a sellers broker how much you would pay for the house and when out looking with out representation, remember, anything you share with the listing agent is told to the seller.
When interest rates are low opt for a fixed mortgage.
Pay attention to floor plans. Changing layouts of rooms later, can be costly.
Pay attention to the original listing date of the homes you inspect; Sellers tend to be more flexible in the price the longer the home is on the market.
A house that's sited to take advantage of the sun, the wind and the typography costs less to heat and cool and can save thousands of dollars over the years in utility bills.
Redoing a kitchen is likely to be expensive. So be sure of what you need and want before you buy.
A light-colored roof reflects heat and is best in areas where air-conditioning is the greater energy user. In colder weather climates, a dark roof is preferable because it absorbs more heat. In temperate climates, a middle-range shade is best.
The three most popular wall choices are brick, wood siding and stucco. About half of all home shoppers prefer brick for exterior walls; about one-third prefer wood siding; and about one-fifth prefer stucco.
Wood floors suggest warmth, quality and good taste and are an asset when it comes time to sell a house.
Buyers, there really is alot to the buying process and I truly would love the opportunity to help you through it. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email with any questions. I am here to help!
