insights, and a seamless experience, reach out to me today!"
1. Decide to Buy
Understand Your Goals: Why are you buying? Are you looking for a starter home, an investment property, or your forever
home? Clarifying your goals will help guide your decisions.
Assess Your Financial Situation: Review your savings, income, and debts. You’ll need to account for a down payment,
closing costs, and moving expenses.
Check Your Credit Score: A good credit score can make a big difference in the mortgage interest rates you qualify for.
2. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Why Pre-Approval Matters: Pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious and ready to buy. It also gives you a clear idea of your
budget.
Gather Documentation: You’ll need proof of income, tax returns, bank statements, and identification for the pre-approval
process.
3. Define Your Wants and Needs
Make a Wishlist: Think about what’s most important to you—location, size, number of bedrooms, outdoor space, and
proximity to schools or work.
Set Priorities: Be realistic about what you can afford and focus on the features that matter most.
Be Open to Options: The perfect home might not have everything on your list, but it could still be the right fit.
