The Buying Jitters

If you’re like most first-time home buyers, you’ve wanted to buy a home in Alexandria VA for several months now. You’ve been searching the MLS online and looking at virtual tours and videos, you’ve even applied for your mortgage approval 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 top real estate 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 first 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.
