If you are a first-time buyer, you probably have many questions about the homebuying process.

This is the place to start!

 

Events of the past few years have reminded us that the purchase of a new home is a big decision to be taken very seriously. Youmay even wonder if it's worthwhile for you to buy a home at this time in your life. Although there are many benefits to homeownership, your situation may dictate otherwise.

The first step will be to interview buyer agents. You want to be sure the agent you work with has the time to spend with you as you go through the process of learning what you want in a home, and you want to be sure you can communicate with your agent. You also want to be sure your agent will stay in contact with you and let you know right away about new listings that come on the market. If you decide to work with us, we will search the multiple listing database as well as signs and newspapers to help ensure that you find the best home for you. In the event you are unable to reach us by cellphone, we will always return your calls promptly.

The second step will be to prequalify for a loan. There are many kinds of mortgages, and you will need an experienced lender to help you decide which loan is right for you. We work with several of the best mortgage lenders in the Triangle, and can help you get the best interest rate and closing costs available. Here is a good site to help you get ready for the process.

Then the home search begins. First we will give you a tour of the neighborhoods where you are likely to find homes in your price range. She will provide you with market data on homes that have sold in those neighborhoods to help you become familiar with market value. We will probably set up an MLS search which will automatically send you new listings as they come available. We will want to be sure that you see as many homes as is necessary for you to really know which one is the right one for you.
