We’ve seen a lot more first-time buyers jumping into the Raleigh market lately. That’s great news, because we pride ourselves in how we work with first-time buyers and all buyers, for that matter. We’ve got a few tips to share to help you or someone you know who is buying for the first time to make the whole process a little easier.

First, you need to check your credit. It’s not all about your credit score, but what your debt-to-income ratio is and how you use credit. When you get with a lender to check this, they’ll also be able to tell you what your buying power is. That’s an important tool.

Secondly, you should figure out what you want in a home. This is especially important if you are buying a home with a spouse. We have a great questionnaire that we give to all our first-time buyers that allows them to sit down and ask the important questions about what they want in a home. It’s good to have this conversation before you start the process.

The next thing to do is to find an experienced agent or broker. We’ve got a passion for helping first-time buyers and the experience to back it up. We can handle everything for you from the time you start looking for homes until the day you close on the perfect one.

One thing that first-time buyers fail to think about is the huge opportunity for an investment that buying a home provides. We sold homes to first-time buyers a few years ago who are coming back now and selling with $15,000 in profit. That’s a huge return in just a few years!

If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
