February 24, 2021Hiring a realtor to purchase a home
Episode Notes:
In this episode I'm joined by a dear friend of mine and financial coach, Jared Lyman as we discuss the value of hiring a full time realtor for all your real estate transactions.
My process to starting your home buying process
Meeting with a Realtor within the early stages of your home search is key. Realtors are super important members of your home buying team
I provide updated information about the market

Send you properties & information about your micro market for the area and type of homes you're looking for.

Enjoy being a resource for your real estate questions.

Before our initial meeting I have my buyers complete their Home Buyer Questionnaire. This gives me an insight into what my buyers they're looking for so I can prepare and properly advise them from our initial meeting.
Finances
Confirm your buying power by getting your pre-approval from a reputable lender. If you don’t already have a lender you want to work with, I can recommend a few lenders to choose from that I feel will be a fit to your particular situation.

Setting up your financing to buy a home starts with understanding your Debt to Income Ratio: Your debt-to-income ratio is all your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income.
Exploring Down Payment Options
Down payment money is out there we'll help you find it. Here is a link to help you explore some options on your own. Down Payment Resource Center

Benefits to buying homes off season You get to see how the home handles the harsh weather Mortgage rates are low so many buyers are ready to buy The seller may be moving out of necessity and may be willing to make a deal Don't let the pressure of buying get to you Don't sacrifice your budget or home criteria just to win a house Market update More title reports were ordered this January compared to last year, which means more homes are being prepped to hit the market this spring.
