Buying Your First Home? Real Estate Agents Are Your Professional Guides. 

You might be a bit afraid or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home. As a Virginia Beach, Norfolk and City of Norfolk real estate expert, it's my job to guide you, from beginning to end. 

I will take the time to go through each and every step of the buying process. There are no dumb questions! 

Together, we will consider: 

- How much can you really afford? 

- How to qualify for a mortgage. 

- How much cash you should put down. 

- How to buy a home with little or nothing down. 

- What it takes to get approved for financing. What banks and other financial institutions are looking for. 

- How much your payments will be. 

- The tax advantages of buying. 

- Is renting or buying better for you? 

Tell me a bit about your situation below. I'll get right back to you. There is absolutely no charge, and I offer this to you with no strings attached. 

New to the home buying process? Tell me your concerns. Ask me questions. It's my job to help! There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly...

Real Estate Tips

Accepting An Offer >Purchase Negotiations

If you are selling your home, you should be prepared for the day your first offer comes in. When your real estate agent calls to say there is an offer on your home, you will naturally get excited. When your agent describes the offer, you will probably experience an adrenaline rush. Whether the offer is good or bad, you should just remain calm--and discuss a counter-offer with your agent. The negotiations of a purchase begin with the buyer's ideal terms and a counter offer that communicates the seller's ideal terms.

A good agent will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers' financial qualifications are shaky or the offer includes potentially problematic terms or conditions, your real estate agent should be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter-offer. Your agent's job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected.
