Thinking about buying a home?

Purchasing a home can be both exciting and frightening! You’ll not only have to live with your decision, but also live in it, so you don’t want to make any costly mistakes.
Before you start looking for your “dream” home, organize yourself by considering a few basic questions:

What are my housing needs? - We understand that where you choose to live is one of the most important factors in buying a home.
What are the choices? - From the first conversation, buyers know they are working with qualified professionals who know the local inventory.
What can I afford to spend?
How much will I spend in total ?
How long will it take me to find a house?

Time spent answering these questions in advance may save you from frustration and disappointment during your search.

There are many steps involved in the homebuying process but the most important step is the first one:

The mortgage pre-approval.

It may sound like a less-than-exciting first step but it’s an essential one. Not getting a mortgage pre-approval could mean the difference between securing the home of your dreams and missing out.

What happens after your mortgage pre-approval?

Generally, you’ll have a 90 to 120 day period where your offered rate will be held for you. This is when you should start house hunting.
