| 10 Simple Tips For First-Time Home Buyers |
| 1. Know what you can afford to spend. 2. Find out if you qualify for home buying help. HUD, VA, and CalFHA have programs for 1st time homebuyers. 3. Get pre-qualified for a loan. First, get a copy of your credit report. I can help you find a reputable lender. 4. Make a list of "must-haves" and another list of "would-like-to-have". Prioritize and be realistic. 5. Don't spend time looking at homes you can't afford. 6. Realize the neighborhood you choose is at least as important as the house. Make sure you are comfortable there. You can fix a house; you can't fix a neighborhood. 7. Think about resale values. When you spot a home you like, consider how it will look to future buyers. 8. Find out and calculate on going maintenance costs and other factors like taxes, insurance and utilities. 9. Have the house inspected by a professional home inspection company and carefully review the report. 10. Examine the pre-closing statement provided by your Realtor and Lender. Make sure you have enough cash to close the deal. |
| Why Use a REALTOR? |
| The Personal and Professional commitment of a REALTOR is to ensure that a Buyer and Seller are brought together to make an agreement that is fair and equitable to both parties. Not every Real Estate Agent is a REALTOR. A REALTOR is a member of their local Association of Realtors, and the State and National Realtors Associations. As a REALTOR, I have taken an oath to subscribe to a stringent and enforceable Code of Ethics with Standards of Practice that promote the fair, ethical and honest treatment of all parties in a transaction. Non-member agents have taken no such oath and are not morally bound to these ethical practices and principles. |
