When you work with me to purchase your home, my services to you are free.  As a Realtor, I have access to new listings as soon as they are on the market, sometimes even before they are listed. The best properties will move quickly, so you need to work with a Realtor who can keep you informed of the newest listings that match your preferences.

As Your Agent, I Will:

Assure that you see all the properties in the area that meet your criteria.

Guide you through the entire home buying process, from finding homes to view, to getting the best financing.

Help you avoid costly mistakes.

Answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Attending open houses and searching online is always a good idea. But when you are serious, call me and I will help you make the most of your home search.

Getting Started:

I always recommend that you search online at Austin Home Search or other online resources to get an idea of areas and prices. Also take a look at Walk Score to get a walkability score for neighborhoods and find out what amenities are nearby.

Once you see a home you’re interested in, you’ll need a Realtor to get you in to the home to view it, so call me and we’ll set up an appointment.

When beginning a search for a new home, there are some questions you will want to answer to help narrow down your search:

How much money do you have for a down payment?

What is your overall budget range for a new home?

Where do you want to look? If you are not familiar with Austin and the surrounding areas, I can help with that!

What are your criteria for a home? Number of beds/baths, one or two story, pool or no pool, etc. What features do you need? A study, large kitchen, hardwood floors?

Make sure you are ready to apply for a loan. Sellers prefer to sign a contract with buyers who are pre-approved, so do your homework up front to have the best chance to buy the house you want:

Check your credit rating. Straighten out any errors you find.

Determine a comfortable monthly budget for your new purchase, including down payment and monthly payment.

Find a loan program that meets your needs and get pre-qualified (preferably pre-approved).

There is much to consider when buying a home. Call me today to find out how I can help you in your search!
