Buying Your First Home? I Can Help!

You might be a bit afraid of or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home. As your Realtor, 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.

- How to buy a home with little or nothing down.

- What it takes to get approved for financing. What banks and other financial institutions are looking for.

- How much your payments will be.

- The tax advantages of buying.

- Is renting or buying better for you?

My first time buyers are very special to me because you become my customers for life. I will guide and direct you the best way I know how and make your home the best investment you can make! Tell me a bit about your situation in the form below. I'll get right back to you. There is absolutely no charge, and I offer this to you with no strings attached. Please fill out the form below.

First Time Buyers >A Matter of Timing

Buying real estate can sometimes involve tricky timing. For example, you may have found the perfect house and are thinking about making an offer, but are feeling pressured to make a decision just when you want time to consider the matter. The agent tells you that another party is thinking about making an offer, so you shouldn't hesitate if you really want the house. What should you do? Trust your agent!

It is natural to feel some pressure from even the most easy-going real estate agent--and some uncertainty about making an offer. If you really like a house, there is always the possibility that someone else will share your enthusiasm for it. Whether your local market is active or sluggish, it is sensible to assume that another offer is likely to come in. Perhaps you can afford to "sleep on it", but moving as quickly as possible will minimize the possibility that the house will go to another buyer.

Born and raised in Co. Leitrim, Ireland I grew up on a dairy farm and was the youngest of six children. I went to elementary school in a two-room schoolhouse and later cycled six miles to and from high school each day! Life was simple, and my after school activities consisted of helping on the farm with feeding the calves, milking the cows and picking vegetables and turf for the fire. I was very connected to nature at the time! I can remember back to when the first electric light was installed in our house and when my father got his first car- it was a Ford! Both of these events were major milestones in my life and all of my childhood experiences have made me who I am today.

For the last 20 years I have dedicated myself to making the emotions of real estate and the moving process as painless as possible. I pride myself in listing, selling, marketing, negotiating and closing the best deals for my clients. I am established leader in Fairfield County Real Estate. I have been a consistent top producer ranking #1 in both units sold and closed dollar volume for the past 20 years. I believe that real estate is all about family and having built my business by being known as ï¿½The Matchmakerï¿½ ï¿½ Matching Homes with Families and Families with Homes, I have proven success. I cover everything from the first-time buyer and renter to luxury homes and waterfronts along with condo and commercial developing. I feel as though my diversity allows me to understand and best suit my clients growing needs. I also believe in a strong work ethic and commitment to clear and effective communication.
