Tips for First Time Homebuyers offered by ERA Justin Realty’s Team Kubs
ERA Justin Realtors Allyson Kubs and Wayne Kubs will advise, “Buying a home is a focused decision, doing it for the first time. By asking the right questions and considering a few simple but important steps, you can pave the way for some powerful beginner’s luck. Becoming a first-time homeowner may have a few uncertainties, especially moving from a rental apartment, but remember that you’re not alone, and our ERA Justin Realtors are there for you each step of the way. Many make a successful buying move each day as monthly rents continue to increase. You can too.
It can be streamlined, dealing with one of the ERA Justin real estate professionals. ERA Justin Realty can navigate the home buying process, and let you concentrate on the rewards of this new experience. Their professionals, will tell you that there are three major points you should take into account: Finding the right financing, investigating the community you’re considering, and evaluating your prospective home’s qualities.
Before your home-search begins it’s helpful to determine what price-range you are comfortable with and get pre-approved for a loan. Many hopeful home-seekers have concerns that they can’t afford a down payment or sheer unfamiliarity with the financing process. But today those worries are often unfounded; there is an array of financing options available for aspiring homeowners of almost every income. For example, most lenders offer many different loan products, and one is likely to fit your unique financing needs.
Allyson offered, “Once you’ve gained confidence in an area, it’s important to make sure you’re familiar with the location you’d like to live in. Think about what you want in a community and how your chosen one meets these interests, including nearness to the city (or country), reputation of the school system, access to public transportation, and property values. This is another task that ERA Justin Realty, with tools on our comprehensive search web sites www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com are perfectly equipped to help you with. Our web sites feature our unique 1000’s of homes section, where a prospect can view almost every house for sale in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties, all areas in which we list and sell homes. This information is obtainable both on your computer or on our mobile websites on Ipads and smart phones.
You also need to evaluate the attributes of your possible new home. What condition are major components like the furnace, windows and roof in? Is it a house needing only cosmetic improvements which will one day pay for themselves in resale value, or structural repairs? A qualified home inspector can help you answer such questions with confidence.”
Wayne added, “Keep in mind that being new to the buying process, with the assistance of our firm does have its strong advantages. We will be with you through the entire process. Obtaining good guidance can help make sure you get it right the first time. There is a difference in real estate companies, and our available ERA Home Protection Plans are perfect examples for ease of mind during your first year of ownership. We ask Buyers and Sellers to compare. We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what our Realtor professionals are about, we don’t offer just real estate basics, we try to be as comprehensive as possible. In that way, we hope you will hold us all in the highest regard.”
