Ask about our FREE CLASS

For First Time Home Buyers

We can help you with some of those tough questions like:

How long do you plan to live in the home?

If you purchase a home and get a job transfer or decide to move after only a short time, you may end up paying money in order to sell it. The value of your home may not have appreciated enough to cover the costs that you paid to buy the home and the costs that it would take you to sell your home.

The length of time that it will take to cover those costs depends on various economic factors in the area of the home. In our FREE CLASS we will tell you how to best determine the manner in which this affects you.

How long the home will meet your needs?

Depending on how long you plan to stay in your home, you'll need to ensure that the home has the amenities that you'll need.

We will teach you what factors play into this and how best to look for a home that meets ALL of your needs in our FREE CLASS.

Your financial health - your credit and home affordability?
Is now the right time financially for you to buy a home? Would you rate your financial picture as healthy? This is the really big picture and in our FREE CLASS, we will show you how to make the best out of your situation.

Some say that you should refrain from borrowing as much as you qualify for because it is wiser not to stretch your financial boundaries.

While we're not advocating you purchase a home utilizing the higher ratios, its important for you to know your options.

Where the money for the transaction will come from?

Typically homebuyers will need some money for a down payment and closing costs. In our FREE CLASS we can teach you how to look for a lender, what type of questions to ask them and how to understand some of the forms and documents that lenders use.

The ongoing costs of home ownership?

Maintenance, improvements, taxes and insurance are all costs that are added to a monthly house payment. If you buy a condominium, townhouse or in certain communities, a monthly homeowner's association fee might be required. KNowing how those cost affect your bottom line is very improtant.
