Go Ahead…Take the First Step!

When you're ready to buy a home, what's the first step you'll need to take? Start looking at homes? No, here's a better suggestion.

You probably have a pretty good idea of what type home you'll be wanting to buy, don't you? Do you know how many bedrooms and baths will be needed? What style home do you prefer and in what location?

Do you know how much home you can afford to purchase, how much cash you have available for a downpayment, and what monthly payments will be satisfactory?

Once you know the answers to all these questions, your first step should be in the direction of the office of the best real estate agent you can locate. You see, there are numerous details involved in locating the right property for you. Those details center around the agent's knowledge of your family's wants and needs. That's why it's so important to meet first at the agent's office, then plan to inspect homes.

During the first meeting with your agent you'll have the opportunity to explain the importance of school locations, shopping, and other amenities; close proximity to your employment may also be a factor in making your housing decision.

By understanding your living style, your real estate agent can choose a variety of homes for you to see. Then you can be confident that the home you purchase will have what is important to you and your family, now and in the years to come.
