No one knows better than I the fears that are brought into the appointments leading up to buying a home. I see them everyday working with buyers. Yes, even those who are purchasing their fifth home have fears!
From experience I have created facts that should help dispel fears when purchasing your first home:
- If you are paying rent monthly, you very likely can afford to buy.
- There is never a wrong time to buy. Working with a Realtor to find a good buy and making sure you have the financial ability to hold it for a long time.
- Lack of a substantial down payment will not prevent you from making the purchase.
- The biggie today... a less than perfect credit score won’t necessary stop you from purchasing a home!
- Buying your first home is the best way to get closer to buying your ultimate dream home.
- Seek the assistance of a Realtor who will help you along the way to un-complicate the home buying process.
The most important fact to remember ... YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING! You wouldn’t have surgery without seeking out someone who has a reputation for doing the surgery. Seek out a Realtor who has a reputation for good service, community knowledge and cares about YOU.
