First Time Home Buyer Tips & Process
We Would Love to Help You!
We love working with first time home buyers and we have helped hundreds of clients purchase their first homes in Austin and the surrounding areas. We understand the unique challenges that buying your first home presents and we can help you through every step of the process. We know that you want to understand all of your options and to make sure that you're making the right decision. We pride ourselves on our no pressure approach and would love to help guide you through the process.
Tips & Process
-
Initial Consultation
To get started, we like to schedule a short phone call or in person meeting to discuss your priorities & time frame. During this call or meeting, we can discuss the buying process, different areas of town, and any other questions you might have. Would you prefer to get started over email? That's also completely fine! -
Lender Introduction
If you haven't already spoken with a lender, it's great to start that conversation so that you can get a pre-approval letter, which you will need to make an offer on a home. Even if you don't plan to make an offer right away, a lender pre-approval will show you how much your monthly payments will be at different price points, so we can effectively set your price range. -
Targeted Property Searches
It's great for you to search online on your own, but we will also set up highly targeted property searches based on the locations we've identified and your specific needs in your new home. The MLS provides us a powerful property search that we have years of experience using, so we can taylor your searches just for you. We will create a separate search for each area/neighborhood that you want to explore, which allows you to easily organize your search. -
Organize Your Favorites
We'll provide a client portal that allows you to save favorites, possibilities, and discard properties that you don't like. You can make notes on properties so that you can easily remember what you liked about each home. If you're buying your new home with your partner or family, this allows you to share your thoughts on different properties and areas easily. -
Tour Areas & Properties
Everyone moves at their own pace and we're happy to move as quickly or slowly as you would like to. We've found that it's best to spend 2-4 hours on your first appointments looking at homes, as that allows us to arrow down your location. After you know exactly which neighborhoods you would like to target, we can view homes as they hit the market, or spend more time to look at many homes in one outing. -
Move Forward With a Purchase
When you're ready to move forward with your purchase, we will guide you through the traditional home buying process. We do understand that a relocation can present unique challenges that usually involve purchasing remotely, and we're happy to help you through this process.
