Contact a REALTOR®

Congratulations on the first step of buying a home! As an experienced real estate agent, I can assist you through the entire process of buying a home, starting with the mortgage and continuing right through closing – and beyond. I will help you shop for the best interest rate and terms, and if you wish, I can also suggest mortgage lenders.

Get Pre-approved for a Loan

Obtain a copy of your credit report and your FICA score, and if necessary, do what you need to do to improve it. The higher your FICA score, the better your interest rate. You can get this information online, or I can help you. Contact several lenders, and determine which one will give you the best deal.

Determine Your Price Range and Area(s) in Which You’re Interested

By now, you should have a good idea of how much home you can afford. This helps you narrow down your home search. You should also begin researching the neighborhoods in which you might want to live. I can assist you with this.
