Help for First-Time Home Buyers

Whether you’re eager, excited, nervous, or not entirely convinced that buying a home is right for you, this booklet will help you figure it out. 

Buying a home can be exciting, scary, and stressful for anyone, especially if you’re going from renting (or living with family) to purchasing a home. I’d rather it be more exciting than scary or stressful for you. It doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful, but it is for people who don’t know what to expect. 

No, it’s not as easy as some people think, but it’s not hard either...as long as you go about it knowledgeably. Nowadays, there’s a lot of information readily available out there. However, the information can be too basic (like an infographic) or overly complex (with too much industry jargon).

In addition, much of what’s out there lacks some of the finer details that I think buyers should know but isn’t often spoken or written about — and even many agents overlook it or don’t discuss it with their clients. Even when an agent does think to bring up some of what we’ll get into in this booklet, it can be taken the wrong way by a client in the moment. It sometimes comes across as the agent trying to convince them to do something or not do something for their own personal gain. This can lead a homebuyer to ignore even the best information and insight they could hope for.

This is why I created this booklet…to give you objective insight so you:

• Can think through essential things beforehand and ask questions while you go through them.
• Know the things you should do, and do them at the right times, before and during the process of buying a home, to make it as smooth, successful, and enjoyable a process as possible.
• Will expect some issues and feelings that may occur during the process, so you’ll be okay if they occur and know what to do when they come up.

Just call or email me, and I’ll gladly answer any questions or concerns you might have. So, without further ado, let’s get you moving from renting to being a homeowner!
