Why Start Your Home Search With A Meeting?

With the advances in the internet, current house listing area available to everyone. Why then should you start you home search by meeting with a Real Estate Consultant in person?

The first meeting is critical especially for first time home buyers and those who haven't had a real estate transaction in a long time. The meeting is key to becoming informed with the home buying proces. We go over the homebuying time line and what you can expect along the way. We also assess your buying power. Even if you have some obstacles you have to over come before you are ready to buy a house come in so we can make a game plan to keep you on track.

What happens when you don't sit down with a real estate consultant before you start your home search?
  • You go to put an offer on the home of your dreams only to find out they won't look at your offer before you get a preapproval. You then talk to a lender only to find out you qualify for $350,000 not the $400,000 you need to pay for the house.

  • You are told at closing that you have to bring in $9,000 more that you expected for "closing costs" (what are closing costs?) or the house isn't your.

  • You find your dream house and try ot put an offer on it. While you are scrambling to get all your paperwork ready for the lender to provide the prequalificiation someone else places an offer and gets it accepted.

There are endless other senarios that happen when you don't start with the proper foundation. Save yourself lots of time, but spending 20 minutes with us. We will ensure that you understand each part of the process from the prequalification - search - loan - escrow - payment - closing. This knowledge will enpower your confidence and ensure that you are in control and therefore sure of your decisions.

Yellow Brick Road to Home Ownership

When I was 22 I decided to buy my first house, because I was young and ignorant, I didn’t know that it was difficult or hard to achieve. Admittedly I didn’t do it by myself, I had help, and because of that first step I was able to create lots of opportunity for myself, the first being that I was able to be a full time stay at home mom for the first 10 years of my daughter’s life. I would not have been able to do that if I had been paying rent which would have gone up each year.

My passion is helping people to realize that home ownership doesn’t have to be just a dream, it is achievable. Sometimes we need a little help or guidance to get us there, or just someone to believe that we can do it. It can be hard work, but usually the worthwhile things are. The newsletter is created to give you the inspiration and assistance that you may need as you start on the road to home ownership.

In addition to the newsletter we would also like to make a individual road map just for you. Helping to make your path clear and your efforts targeted to your specific situation and goals. So you can be assured your path will lead you to a home. 

I want everyone to feel the freedom that comes with knowing that you own your own home, that no one can raise the rent on you, that you are paying your own mortgage, not someone else’s. Know that you can’t be kicked out of your home because the landlord decided to sell it or have their daughter move in. Feel free to paint your walls something besides Navajo White. Have pets if you want to and not worry that your neighbors might report you to your landlord because your cat got out as one client of mine had to deal with.
Our commitment to you is that we will assist you along the path to home ownership, much like Glinda the Good Witch, helping your overcome any obstacles in your path. Whether you’re ready to go right now or you are just starting to get your ducks in a row or even if you don’t know where any of your ducks are. We will be here for you today, tomorrow and for the years to come, helping you achieve your real estate dreams.
Please let me know if you would like to receive our monthly guide to becoming a homeowner so you to can be on the road to owning your own home. In it we will have credit repair tips, compare what you can get for the money between renting and buying, great new listings, success stories, tips and programs for down payments, current rentals and much more. If you know anyone who would like to become a homeowner this year, please have them contact me so we can get them started.
Even if you aren't in San Diego, sign up for the newsletter and when you are ready for the next step we can connect you with a great team in your area.
