it’s not all about the price.

The Buying Jitters
If you’re like most first-time home buyers, you’ve wanted
to buy for several months now. You’ve been browsing online
and looking at virtual tours and videos, you’ve even applied for your
mortgage so you know what price range to look in. Don’t be
shy about getting your feet wet and start looking at homes in person.
We encourage all of our buyers to be vocal about their likes and
dislikes so that we can zero in on homes that meet your criteria.
Once you’re under contract, it’s normal to develop
a little anxiety when the reality of owning a home starts to settle
in. We know, we’ve seen it many times. The important thing
to remember is to maintain a close relationship with us. Put our
numbers on speed dial, email or text message us! There’s no such thing as a dumb question,
and don’t wait until the last minute inquire about something
that you feel is important. Also, the saying, ‘keep your friends
close, keep your enemies closer’ applies. Are you getting
advice from professionals or naysayers? If your parents are involved
in your buying decision, we’re probably in contact with them
too. Times have changed since they first purchased their $40,000
home, and the industry has evolved with more flexible financing.
Does your close circle of friends own a home, or are they renting?
Your homeowner friends are probably cheering you on, while your
renting friends may be a little hesitant to display their good wishes.
Just remember the best time to buy was yesterday, the next best
time to buy is today.
