First Time Home Buyers: I am happy to guide you through the complicated maze of purchasing your first home from getting pre-approved through closing. Our first meeting will be a Free Buyer Counseling Session where we will get to know each other, talk about the entire process and decide if we want to work together to reach your goals of homeownership. Once we decide to work together, we will set up search criteria for what you might be looking for in a home such as school district, price range, number of bedrooms, style, etc. and then I will get busy finding you that perfect home.
Experienced Home Buyers: If it has been a while since you purchased a home there are lots of new issues to deal with such as disclosures, inspections, bridge loans, and demanding buyers. Coordinating the sale of one home and purchase of a second can be stressful but I can help guide you through the process. Should you decide to purchase a New Construction Home I can also assist you. It is important to note that the representatives of the builder are working for the builder and it is important for you to have representation as well.
Current Market Conditions: The St. Louis Market has seen an adjustment in prices withiin the last year and homes are taking a little longer to sell for a little less than they did in previous years and it is now a Buyers' Market. What that means is that there are less buyers than sellers and there are more homes for buyers to choose from. If a home is pristine condition and it very updated it will probably sell before the others that do not show as well. This also means that buyers can take their time to truly evaluate all aspects of the home and not make quick decisions fearing that they will lose their home to someone else.
Interest Rates continue to be near all-time lows even though they have increased slightly in the last year. So don't wait ! Call or e-mail me if you'd like more information on how to buy or sell a home today!
