KNOWING WHERE TO BEGIN - FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS

The purpose of this blog post is to provide first time home buyers with useful information.

Personal Experience – our first home purchase (Arnie & Diane)

We bought our first home in 1967 after returning from the Army. We were very excited to finally have our own home for our family.  We were a little scared and had the following questions. 
  • ·         How can I be sure that I can afford this home?
  • ·         What’s my credit score?
  • ·         What’s a first time home buyer loan?
  • ·         How does it work?
  • ·         Who can I turn to for reliable help?

     We were 26 and 23 years old, married two and half years with our baby girl a year old.   I had a good job but we had no money backup in case of situations.
     At least we did understood that renting just added to the landlord’s own weath.  We realized we could be making our own home payment, not that of the landlord. 
     Thank goodness, we did have a knowledgeable REALTOR that helped us find the home and “coached” us to answer all the questions in our minds.  
     Sorry to be rambling down memory lane.  Want to learn more, checkout the following information:

Why this blog post?

Our office likes to help those purchasing their first home and find it very rewarding. 
First of all we help you find a reliable and knowledgeable loan officer, as there are many out there just wanting to make a “fast buck.”
We try to pass on the  many hours of experience with other buyers and sellers over the years so we can help your experience be a really good one. 
We will help you save time, money and avoid mistakes too often made by new home buyers.  Getting into a bad loan can be continual aggravation and we need to avoid that for sure.
