How I Can Help
Before you start looking
Closing Costs

As Your Agent, I Will:

  • Assure that you see all the properties in the area that meet your criteria. No matter whose name is on the sign...I can help you!
  • Guide you through the entire home buying process, from finding homes to look at, to getting the best financing.
  • Make sure you don't pay too much for your new home and help you avoid costly mistakes.
  • Answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Before You Start Looking For Your New Home:

  • Check your credit rating. Straighten out any errors before its too late.
  • Determine a comfortable monthly budget for your new purchase, including down payment and monthly payment, and whether you want to include insurance and property taxes in your payment.
  • Find a loan program that meets your needs and get pre-qualified (preferably pre-approved). I can suggest two or three local lenders that we have worked well with in the past. (I'm wary of many unknown out-of-town lenders, or internet lenders...sometimes their deals aren't that great after all hidden fees are thrown in.
  • Choose a REALTOR® that you trust and who understands your needs. I make home buying FUN...and will work hard FOR YOU!
  • Determine what neighborhood best matches your needs.
  • Identify important features you need your new home to have, as well as features you definitely DON'T want.

Closing Costs to Expect:

  • Lender fees include charges for loan processing, underwriting, preparation and establishing an escrow account.
  • Third-party fees include some fees, but in our market most inspections and title search and title insurance fees are the seller's expense.
  • Escrow and interest fees include homeowner's insurance, loan interest, real estate taxes, and occasionally private mortgage insurance.
