Congratulations, Casey, on the purchase of your first home!
Casey was referred to me, and we started with a buyer consultation to evaluate his wants and needs in a home. This was his first time buying a home, so I started off with some general steps, timeline and suggestions. He was already pre-approved with his lender, which was a great start.
His timeline was based on his lease ending, which is a common motivator for first time buyers. He had some flexibility on his budget, was open to a wide range of locations on the west side of the city, and knew he wanted a low maintenance home.
We talked through his options, and narrowed down the search to better focus his results. Once he had a few batches of homes to choose from, we went out and starting touring houses.
During the first tour, we saw several homes that would work, but started to find things that he needed or didn't want in his new home. Central AC was a must, yard space was a negative.
After a few tours, we had found a couple of promising homes, but none of them were "the one". That changed on our last tour. A newer townhouse came to market that morning and we were the first buyers to see it. It had everything he had been looking for, and at a better value than other homes we'd seen. But we weren't the only ones who realized this.
There was another buyer who was interested in offering on the home as well. I strongly recommended being the first to offer. Knowing the market, he was confident in putting in an offer on the home, even in a competitive situation. I spent time connecting with the listing agent to reassure them of our intention to close on the home and create a cooperative relationship. That paid off and our offer was chosen!
We negotiated on inspection items which resulted in the seller installing a new hot water heater amongst other repairs. After a few short weeks, Casey closed on his new home.
Thank you, Casey, for trusting me to guide you through your first home purchase! I look forward to continuing to serve you in the future, and maybe get some time on the volleyball court together as well.
If you or someone you know are looking for your next home, reach out, and Im happy to help!
