First time home buyer? Purchasing your first home can give you a lot of personal freedom.  Review this check list to determine if you’re ready.

Are you ready for….

Paint your home any color you choose?

Take advantage of tax breaks?

Gain equity?

Are you ready to start shopping? Use your real estate agent as a professional resource. If you find a seemingly great listing online, always run it by your agent to confirm you aren’t missing something important. They can also provide neighborhood details, price comparisons for similar properties just sold in the area, additional listings that match your criteria and more. Once you find a home you’re ready to view or even pass by an open house, make sure you bring your agent with you to answer questions and be an extra set of eyes.

Whether you are looking for houses for sale or rent, it’s important to know that not all real estate agents are equal.

Tina has made the extra effort to raise the bar with additional training. Most importantly, you can feel confident that you will receive the highest level of buyer-representation services. Further, she is committed to maintaining a professional edge by staying current on the houses for sale and trends in buyer representation.
