First Time Home Buyers

Buying Your First Home?

You might be a bit apprehensive about the whole process of buying your first home. Or maybe you’ve owned a home but are planning to buy on the North Shore for the first time. As a real estate expert who specializes in Chicago’s North Shore, it’s my job to guide you, from beginning to end.

I will take the time to go through each and every step of the buying process. There are no dumb questions!

Together we will consider:

• How much can you really afford?
• How to qualify for a mortgage.
• How much cash you should put down.
• What it takes to get approved for financing.
• What lenders are looking for.
• Why it’s important to get pre-qualified for a loan.
• How much payments will be.
• The tax advantages of buying.

I will also take you on my signature Tour of the Shore. We will visit the neighborhoods, see the schools and find out what amenities each community has to offer. I will help you understand relative home values, so that you can make informed decisions about the home you choose.

When you’re ready to get started just give me a call at 847-687-5957 or email me. I would love to help you!
