First-Time Buyers

You do not need to know the whole process before you start.

The goal is to understand the next step: financing, budget, search, offer, inspection, appraisal and closing — one piece at a time.

1. Get the Real Budget

Start with a lender so you understand payment, cash-to-close and loan options before falling in love with a house.

2. Narrow the Search

Price is only one filter. Commute, condition, taxes, insurance, HOA and lifestyle all matter.

3. Understand the Contract

Your agent helps explain deadlines, inspections, negotiations and what happens between accepted offer and closing.
