THE BUYING PROCESS

My goal is to provide the highest level of service to each and every client. I am committed to explaining every detail of the buying process and guiding you every step of the way. 

SET YOUR BUDGET

Before beginning your home search, your first step is to establish a budget and obtain pre-approval for a mortgage loan (unless you intend to pay the entire home price in cash). Begin by reaching out to a reputable lender you have confidence in. Assessing your income and credit history, the lender will ascertain the amount a bank is willing to loan you. This information will aid in defining the price range for your search, as well as provide insights into monthly payments and down payment prerequisites.
