First Time Home Buyers - Where Do You Begin?

I remember the first time I bought a home. I wouldn't necessarily say that it was stressful, but I must admit that I knew NOTHING about buying a home. Well, let me clarify: it was easy to find a home, but every step after that was unfamiliar. I look back now and am SO thankful that I had an excellent Realtor to guide me and keep me safe.

That first purchase though sparked a fire in me - I became addicted to real estate. After that, I learned a lot more about the process of buying a home - shopping for loans, researching the market, what the heck is escrow anyhow, etc... I have come a long way, but it took a long time. I still remember what it was like, and so I understand what my first time homebuyer clients feel like right now.

In fact, I have ended up specializing in working with first time homebuyers. I really enjoy taking the time to explain the purchase agreement that they are signing, as well as the other agreements. I enjoy fielding their calls and emails regarding market values in particular areas. I have also teamed up with a lender who also specializes in working with first time home buyers, and he is GOOD. I always feel confident that then I send my first time homebuyers his way, that he will answer their questions and provide them with the information that they need to feel safe and comfortable with their decisions.

Now I am proud to announce that in an effort to further serve first time home buyers, I will be co-hosting a First Time Home Buyer seminar on January 21, 2009 in Manhattan Beach, California. Here are the details:
