Top 10 Reasons why Buying is Better than Renting

 
Time-Tested 'Rules' for an Affordable Payment

1.       Spend no more than 1 week’s income each month for shelter.
 
2.       Limit your mortgage to 2.5 times your gross annual income.
 

3.       Make sure the monthly payment of principal and interest on your home loan is “fixed,” and not adjustable.

Our 5-Step Home Purchase Plan

Deciding to buy a home is an important first step. We want to help you understand the process and language of real estate transactions so you can make informed decisions. Here’s our low-stress, no hassle 5-step method to getting your next home:
 
·         STEP 1:   Get Pre-Approved by a lender for a home loan with affordable payments.
 
·         STEP 2:  Select the locations and neighborhoods where you want to live.
 
·         STEP 3:   Drive by the exterior of houses you are considering – and the surrounding area. If you like what you see, call me.
 
·         STEP 4:   I will make an appointment to show you the interior of the house.
 
·         STEP 5:   If you like the interior of the house, I will prepare an offer

We have developed a 5-step plan to make your home search more effective. If you are searching online, you already know many websites offer information that may not be current. We recommend Listingbook.com, an online home search program that allows you to see all the public information in the Multiple Listing Service – and all the pictures – as quickly and accurately as real estate professionals.

 

Listingbook is accessed only through Realtors and has the most up-to-date information because it is the only website that offers a direct connection to the Multiple Listing Service. You can get more information and sign up for Listingbook Here or Ila can enroll you and provide the basic search criteria so you easily can see the listings that fit your needs.

 

We appreciate the opportunity to assist you in the purchase of your next home. Your “team” will include many other professionals, such as your loan officer, home inspector, appraiser, escrow company, title company, insurance company. We are happy to recommend people who will provide exceptional service – and hold them accountable for their efforts. Our job is to protect you and we take that very seriously.
