We are at your side each step of the way, and we will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own. Our group will help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, help you prepare so that sellers perceive you as a preferred buyer, and help you through the myriad of details attending the purchase.
The Wright Group is always familiar with the current homes on the market, and we know neighborhood values well. Helping to determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before starting to search is our area of expertise!
Your first step to buying a home is to ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house?
Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "needs" from the "wants."
Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.
Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Someday you or your heirs will want to sell. Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.
Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
Call us and we will refer you to a mortgage professional that has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approval for their clients. They are efficient, fast, and happy to accommodate us during the transaction!
Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, let us help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.
With access to the best possible resources and communication systems available today we will locate the homes on the market that match your specifications. You can even search all MLS listings here on our website.
Let us take the hassle and stress out of financing and inspections, and close on the transaction. Our top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful.
