Got any questions?
Finding the perfect house on your own is not easy - choose the agents you can trust.
So, you want to buy a house—now what? The first time buying a home is an emotional, exciting, and also exhausting experience. You may also be wondering along the way—what am I missing?
Motivation & Timing
- What’s prompting your move right now?
- Are you currently renting, or do you need to sell a property before buying?
- How soon are you hoping to move?
- Is there a specific deadline or life event driving your timeline?
Finances & Pre-Approval
- Have you been pre-approved for a mortgage, and if so, what’s your comfortable budget range?
- Do you have a down payment amount in mind?
- Are you planning to use any special financing programs (VA, FHA, first-time buyer, etc.)?
- Do you know what monthly payment feels right for you?
Property Preferences
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need?
- Do you prefer a single-family home, townhouse, or condo?
- What’s most important to you: size, location, or condition?
- Do you want something move-in ready or are you open to renovations?
- Are there “must-haves” (e.g., garage, yard, updated kitchen) and deal-breakers?
Location & Lifestyle
- Which neighborhoods or areas are you most interested in?
- How important is your commute, and to where?
- Do you want to be near schools, parks, public transportation, or shopping?
- Are HOA communities something you’d consider or prefer to avoid?
Decision-Making & Process
- Who else will be involved in the decision-making process?
- Have you bought a home before, and how was that experience?
- How many homes have you already seen (in person or online)?
- What would make the buying process feel smooth for you?
Next Steps & Readiness
- Do you need help connecting with a lender, inspector, or title company?
- Would you like me to set you up with automatic MLS alerts for homes that meet your criteria?
- Are you available for weekday showings, or mainly weekends?
