Overview

When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions.  The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home.  Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process.  I will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own.  I will help you prepare so that sellers perceive you as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and help you manage through the myriad of details involved in the actual purchase.

Your First Step

Your first step to buying a home is to first ask yourself why you want to buy a home:  To stop paying rent?  To start building equity?  To have a place of your own?  To raise a family or retire?  To entertain business associates?  To move up to a bigger house or downsize?  Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be.  Be specific.  Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."

  
Think about home styles.  How much space do you need?  Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable?  Consider size and kind of property.  Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up?  Someday you or your heirs will want to sell.  Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company.  This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.  I would be more than happy to refer you to a mortgage professional that has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approval for his clients.

Locating The Right Home For You

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I can assist you in determining which properties fit your needs by using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.  I have the best possible resources and information systems available today to help you locate the homes on the market that match your specifications.  You can also search my listings here at my website.

Assisting You Every Step Of The Way

I will direct you to financing and inspection services, and to close on the transaction.  My top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, economical, and successful.
