5. Home.
Don’t get stuck in the mindset that you should spend every
dollar that you qualify for in your mortgage. This could lead
to bigger problems down the road. Look in the market under
your max budget and be creative when looking at homes for
ways to make improvements or changes that better fit your
needs. A little bit of sweat equity can go a long way and will
give the home your own personal touch.
Each office independently owned and operated.

6. Offer.
Once you’ve found a house you want to call “home,” work
with your real estate agent to come up with an offer the seller
can’t refuse. Whether the house needs some improvements
or it’s a hot buy on the market, your agent can guide you
into making a serious offer to the seller. If you’re feeling
passionate about the home, write the seller a letter explaining
why you’re the best buyer for the home. These touches can
sometimes be the difference between getting the house of
your dreams, or losing it to another buyer.
7. Moving.
You’ve done it! You’ve purchased your first home. Now that
you have a mortgage to pay, keep in mind some money-
saving tips, like asking your closest family and friends to help
you move! A little pizza can go a long way when looking for
some extra help. Make a plan for those personal touches
to add to your home. Test out paint colors in each room
to make sure you like the color in the daylight. Purchase
furniture after making detailed measurements (you don’t
want to come home with something that doesn’t fit!). Add
some curb appeal as a finishing touch and as a way to meet
your new neighbors!
