Buying a Home

If this is your first time buying a home, congratulations! It's an exciting time. If you are buying your second, third or 10th home, it's still an exciting time of transition or investment. Real estate can be an excellent path to building your financial portfolio and wealth over time. 

Before you get started searching...ask yourself these questions

  1. Are you pre-qualified by a lender yet? (If yes, continue. If no, makre sure you get pre-qualified before you do anything else.)
  2. Do you need to sell/rent out a home first before you can buy another one? 
  3. If you are pre-qualified or are buying all cash, consider the location, size and price range you are comfortable with 
  4. Then consider your must haves (don't pick too many)
  5. Do you want turnkey or are you willing to put in a bit of investment and sweat equity?

How I can help...

In your search for a home, you will need someone to represent your financial interest. I will act as your advocate and deep knowledge expert that can answer all your questions and guide you in the right direction. 

My promise to you...

My intent is to be of service. In that vein, I will always put your needs first and will never put you into a home that isn't right for you in the timing that isn't right for you (and your family). I will make sure you are educated by providing you up-to-date resources that can help bolster your understanding of the process and the market trends that impact your investment. 

Let's get started!
