Helping a client find their first home is a uniquely rewarding time for the buyer as well as the REALTOR. I truely enjoy working with first time buyers.
The first step in your first time buying should be contacting a lender. It is best to find out what you can borrow and set a realistic expectation at the beginning. By including a mortgage pre-qualification letter with your offer, you will ensure that your offer will be given serious consideration.
Lender recommendations:
Brian Kenedy, bkenedy@devonmortgage.com, 919-602-2335
Chris Walker, chris@integritymortgagech.com, 919-724-2692
I also recommend requesting a buyer agency agreement. There is no charge to you for having a buyer's agent and there are many benefits to you as a buyer to have exclusive representation.
Be clear about what you must have and ask me to design a custom search for you. Being notified of homes that meet your criteria as soon as they come on the market, we will both be sure that you don't miss out on your dream home.
