A few tips for First Time Home-Buyers

Take control of your cash. First, determine what amount of money you want to spend- Create a budget.
Remember to include inspection, Appraisal, closing costs, and Furniture items.

2. Get Pre-Approved ✅ so you and your realtor know how much “house” you can afford. Looking at million-dollar houses if you can’t afford them does not make sense.

3. Find a Rockstar Realtor! (I’m Right here) 🙋🏻‍♂️. A realtor can help you understand the market, negotiate and be on your side at every step.
Remember to give us examples of what you are looking for. The more info you can provide us with on what you are looking for, the easier it will be for us to find you the perfect fit!

START OFFERING! Believe it or not, if you don’t offer anything, you won’t get accepted on anything (crazy, I know!).

Hope this helps :)
-Mike, the STR guy!
