I want you to feel comfortable buying your first home, and so we've made sure to include the most common concerns that new home buyers have, and simple solutions to choosing the best property, while getting the best deal possible.When I was looking to buy my first home, I was not a realtor. I was plagued by questions and concerns that left me feeling unsettled and nervous about making the wrong decision. There were many unknown unknowns as what questions to ask, who to ask, where I should look, or what documents I had to prepare, review and sign. Terms like mortgage approval, down payments, closing costs, etc. was like an algebra equation to me. I felt intimidated and frustrated. With so many properties on the market, I had an incredible inventory to sort through. However, in order to walk away a winner, I needed to know how to spot a "property problem" and how to choose a home that is suitable for my family and lifestyle. My wife and I depended solely on our realtor to give us advice and show us the way. I wished I knew a little more about the buying process. Buying a home is probably the largest investment you will ever make financially and emotionally.
