Buying Property

First Time Homeowners, Rent to Own, New Projects, Affordable

Are you interested in buying a home? If your answer is yes, you have come to the right place! I am a seasoned real estate professional specializing in first-time homeowners, rent-to-own, new projects, and affordable housing.

Buying a home is an exciting adventure but can also make some buyers a little nervous. Rightly so, it is one of the most significant decisions and purchases you will make in your lifetime. I have found that it doesn’t matter if you are a first-time home buyer or have purchased several houses over the years, navigating the home search and the complicated purchase process can be a bit scary. The good news is having an expert by your side who has your best interest in mind can eliminate that needless worry and allow you to focus on the joy that comes with finding your next home.

To get you started on the right foot when buying a home, you need to know that it is more than just finding the property. Home buying also involves securing financing, making an offer, getting a home inspection, and closing on the purchase.

First Time Homeowners

First-time home buyers, did you know that you can actually enjoy some unique advantages that were created just for you to encourage new entrants into the real estate market.

As a first-time buyer, you have access to state programs, tax breaks, and federally backed loans if you don’t have the usual minimum down payment—ideally, 20% of the purchase price for a conventional loan. You need to meet particular criteria to qualify for such programs, but definitely worth checking out.

Rent to Own

If you’re looking for a place to live, plan to rent today but eventually want to purchase your own residence, and don’t plan on moving from the area you’re targeting for rentals, then rent-to-own could be an option for you. Renting allows you the time you need to build up a good credit history while renting. It’s also a good option if you have less than stellar credit.

If you are interested in this option, let’s chat to discuss what’s in the art of the possible.

New Projects

Are you looking for a new project to tackle? Perhaps you are seeking new construction. Let’s chat if you are interested in purchasing new construction, how agents can help with the process, and other tips about purchasing new builds and properties. When buying new construction, there is much more to consider, such as workmanship, final inspections, builder financing, payment schedule negotiation, and more. Sounds a bit daunting, but as an expert in the area, I will be with you throughout the entire process.

Affordable

Are you seeking an affordable home that meets your needs and allows you to spend less than 30 percent of your post-tax income on housing? Great! I specialize in affordable homes and would love to learn more about your home buying goals and share how I can help you reach them.

Ready to Move Forward?

Home buying should be an exciting and joyful process. I would love to discuss some options with you! If you are a first-time homeowner, desire to rent-to-own, seeking a new project, or simply want to find an affordable home, then contact me.
