Are you Ready to Buy?

Knowledge, planning and professional assistance are the keys to a successful home buyer experience.

_{Do you have the finances to buy a home?}

The first and most important step in the home buying process is to meet with a professional lender to get prequalified for a mortgage. Knowing what you can afford is critical to making informed decisions.

_{Do you know what you want in a home?}

What is motivating you to buy? What property features (location, size, amenities, condition) do you want? What is your time frame? Whatever your answers, the more you know about the real estate marketplace, the more likely you are to effectively define and achieve your real estate goals. Once you get an idea of what you want in a home, it is very helpful and practical to talk to an experienced REALTOR^® who knows the local markets, current market conditions and the many facets of the complex business of real estate. An agent can answer your questions, give you a realistic picture of the market and help you clarify your real estate goals.
