I realize finances are an important part of your home search, but so is your time…
Spending five years as a mortgage consultant and the next twenty-five years as a Realtor, I have witnessed the pitfalls people make when purchasing a property.
Throughout life, we tend to want more than we can afford. I’ve heard it said, “We have Champagne Tastes on a Beer Pocketbook.”
Starting with how much you are financially qualified to purchase is your first step. As important, is how much you are willing to spend. These should not be equal as ‘qualified’ is the high end and may not be wise to pursue. I can refer you to a great lender or, choose one you are comfortable with.
I then help you establish a realistic approach to your home search criteria so I don’t waste your time providing you listings you will have no interest in.
Online home photos are a valuable tool, but we should not put our complete faith in them. Visiting the property may or may not match what those photos depict. I can help save time by previewing properties of interest and point out why you may or may not want to visit them.
I will schedule all the favorable appointment times for you and the seller. Once we identify the property you desire to pursue with an offer, I will guide you through inspections and any hurdles along the way so that we land safely.
Now that we have reached the end of the search, you now get to start on the journey to joy and peace.
