Helping You Achieve Home buying Success

  • Start with a clear understanding of your budget and get pre-approved.
  • Find out how much home you can afford and get pre-approved.
  • Shop with a professional real estate agent.
  • When visiting an open house, bring your agent to ensure your interests are best represented.
  • Research properties and communities.
  • When making an offer on a home, consider a home inspection contingency.
  • Obtain a full understanding of home buying costs.
  • At settlement, there are other closing costs to pay, so don’t forget to incorporate those when calculating the total amount of money you will need.
  • Don’t rely solely on online home valuations. When shopping online for a home, you’ll often see an estimated property value. While this provides a good starting point, you should work with your agent to consider other factors, like location and upgrades, that an automated valuation tool cannot evaluate in determining the true value.
