It’s hard to put into words the amazing feeling that comes with buying a new home. From the moment you walk through the door at your first showing, to being handed the keys, it’s like a dream come true.
The process of buying a home can seem daunting and overwhelming, especially for a first time home buyer. So, what can you expect as a first time home buyer? The process looks something like this:
Because there are so many different steps and parties involved in buying a home, finding a real estate agent that suits you and understands your home buying goals is extremely crucial. The right agent will guide you through these steps and be your biggest advocate until the deal is closed!
Kate Markert, a real estate agent with Marterra Real Estate, has had numerous first time home buyer clients throughout her years in the real estate industry.
“I met a lovely young couple at an open house. We only interacted for about five minutes, but I stayed in touch with them, checking in periodically and waited for about a year until they were ready to make the big jump of purchasing their home as first time home buyers! They were currently renting a small apartment in a crowded and noisy complex. They had a toddler and newborn and dreamed of a big house with a big yard. They wanted to live in a very specific neighborhood in Mesa Verde in Costa Mesa, and when a particular house came on the market, I knew it was perfect for them. It checked all of their boxes right down to the huge backyard, so I made the appointment right away to see it. We made an offer immediately after viewing the property and beat out multiple offers. It all came together perfectly and they were so happy. It felt amazing as an agent to get the opportunity to help them accomplish their goals and see their dream of becoming a homeowner come true.“ - Kate Markert, Marterra Real Estate
