First time home buying can be a very scary road to travel if you don't have a guide to help out with the hurdles, twists and turns along the way.
One of the things I enjoy most about being a REALTOR is the satisfaction I receive when I help someone else achieve their dream of home ownership. First time home buyers especially. They are so excited when a lender has approved them and now they get to go house hunting!
Step one is finding a REALTOR that you feel comfortable with since you will be in daily communication with that person. Make sure your personalities are compatible and each of you is clear on what you want. Step two is finding a lender, again, someone who will take or return your calls promptly and answers your concerns along the way. A reputable lender will find the correct loan package for you the buyer and walk you through the process. A good relationship with both of these professionals helps the home buying process go a lot smoother.
That's the beginning.......Even before the house hunt begins! Then the journey continues once the home is found, offer is made and accepted and you begin the Escrow process......who WOULDN'T want a friend and REALTOR (like me!) to assist them!
