Getting Started
Buying your first home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Here is a step-by-step checklist to guide you.
1. Get Pre-Approved
Before you look at homes, know your budget. A pre-approval locks in your rate and shows sellers you are serious.
2. Save for Down Payment & Closing Costs
Remember, you need at least 5% down for homes under $500k. Don't forget closing costs like land transfer tax and legal fees.
3. Find a Realtor
A good agent can save you time and money. We can recommend trusted partners.
