Yes, there is a lot to consider.
Let Heather take care of the details, and have some fun along the way!
Deciding to Buy a Home
This is the time to research and consider what you are looking for in a home.
Look around your existing residence? Ask yourself what works for your lifestyle and what does not. Think in terms of what do you absolutely need? Have you grown out of your existing home and need more space? What does that look like? Downsizing? Do you still need storage or room for guests? These are the must haves.
Next consider those items you might consider little extras but may not be essential or things that you could compromise on.
Lastly, make your wish list. Those are the things that if you could buy a house that had any of these, that would be the icing on the cake!
Heather can help! It is never too early to discuss possibilities with a real estate consultant, and she will happily provide guidance for you all along the way.
Get Pre-Approved for Financing
Going through the mortgage pre-approval process is one of the most important steps you can take prior to purchasing a home. Financing a property purchase is more complicated than you might think.
A pre-approval letter from your lender makes all the difference when you make an offer for your new home.
When you’re ready to get started, Heather will point you in the right direction!
