Scroll through your news feed enough these days, you are sure to start seeing beautiful homes for sale. Homes with wrap around porches, condos with beautiful contemporary kitchens, or eye catching backyards that are ready for grilling and cookouts. We all look at them. Why not? Its fun!
But what do you do when you think you’re past the window shopping phase? How do you go from looking at pretty pictures online to the American dream of homeownership? The truth is there are multiple ways!
(For today, we’re going to focus on the three we suggest for first time homebuyers.)
- 📞Call Us! We are licensed in Massachusetts and we would help you navigate the market. We will introduce you to the pre-approval process with vetted mortgage brokers and organizations who specialize in your situation.
🌎 Moving out of state? We can help you with that as well! Ask us about our affiliation with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and how we can help you find reputable agencies in any state or countries all around the world. - 📝 First Time Home Owner Workshop! If you’re not sure if you’re ready to buy or not, home buyer workshops are a great way to find out! Often run by local banks, the free classes run for a few weeks and help you to understand the ins and outs of home ownership, as well as helping you budget and get pre-approved.
- 🏘 Go to Open Houses! AKA shopping for realtors . For most people, your home is your biggest asset. Which means finding the right agent to guide you through the process is incredibly important.
🤫🤫🤫 A little known secret for you.. Agents LOVE open houses! Not only is it our way to show off our listings, but its also our way to show off ourselves to new perspective buyers! Check out a few open houses in the area you want to buy in, and spend some time talking to the agents. Make a note of how organized their open house is, test them to see how much they know about their listing/local market, and make sure they are someone you would feel comfortable asking your questions to.
However you start your home search, congratulations on getting this far 🎉and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help! – MM
