Important things to know before buying your first home

If you’re thinking about buying your first home this year, here’s my word of advice. Before anything else, think through these two things: Your budget and Your must-haves. ⁣ As a first time home buyer, you may not know your budget, if you are paying rent currently start there and ask yourself if you can afford to pay more monthly, or if you are comfortable where you are at. Then give me a call and I can connect you with a lender to help know what your budget will be.

Buying a home? Don’t let multiple offers scare you!

SO many clients have asked me in recent months: “There are 10 offers on this house already. Should we even try?” My answer every time? “YES!” Here’s why: ⁣⁣Contracts fall through for ALL sorts of reasons—from contingencies not being met to financing concerns. You never know what’s going to happen. In a market where multiple offers are common, investors (and sometimes buyers) simultaneously put offers on multiple properties. Then, when they find something better, they simply walk away leaving the property available for another buyer.⁣⁣ And sellers have many reasons for choosing an offer, get a good realtor (like me) to communicate and be your advocate for why YOU deserve that home. While I can’t predict the future or what’s going to happen in a multiple-offer situation, I can say I put ALL my buyers in the best possible position to come out on top! If you find a house you love, go for it—and keep going for it until you succeed! Love Where You Live

Benefits of being a homeowner

Do you wonder why people dream about owning their own home? Are you curious to know some of the benefits of being a homeowner? Here are some of the major benefits: Financial Stability – you are your own landlord and your “rent” will never be raised. Financial Strength – paying down your own mortgage will give you equity in your home so in the future you can sell and make money on your home. Equity can also provide you with cash in hand for other needs like home improvement, education, or lifestyle luxuries like cars and boats. Tax Benefits – write off’s that can help lower your taxable income. Permanent Residence – No yearly contracts to sign, or fear you will not be able to resign in the future if the landlord sells or decides not to rent the property anymore. Sense of Community – there is pride in ownership. Get involved in community events or start some of your own! Email me a message if you are ready to own a home! Love Where You Live
