Itโs my absolute hope that this little graphic (๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ!) might shed some light ๐ก on a few of your first-time home buying questions.โฃ

Before jumping to Zillow and Redfin or calling the first agent you see to go look at homes, there are a few things Iโd kindly love to encourage you to think about priorโบ๏ธ. This will potentially save you time, money, and potentially heartbreak, and after all- we want this to be a less-stress and fun process! You are moving to your ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ after all! โฃ

Whether youโre looking now (I and theย @sheilrealtyย @randallrealtorsย ) would be so delighted to support you!) or if youโre looking months or years from now, thereโs no pressure and this is designed to help lay out the steps for whatโs ahead! ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด-๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด โจโฃ

Sit down with yourself and whomever is involved with your home search process and truly think about what kind of lifestyle would you like to create for yourself? Fo you want to wake up and drink your coffee waterfront? Smell the ocean through your kitchen window? Be a pitching wedge distance (for my golfers out there) from the nearest golf club? A quick beach-cruiser-bike ride to the beach or downtown? Will this property be an investment property for student rentals or vacation rentals? Depending on your answers (and you donโt have to know WHICH area, that I can help you with!) that will determine which area you will get the most bang for your buck and create the happy-place lifestyle you so truly deserve โจ๐โฃ

Depending on budget, there are a few things to consider that could help you save BIG time! Are you handy? Willing to put in some sweat equity? Do you have contractors in the family? โฃ

If youโre looking to stay under a certain budget, kindly research and run your numbers. What youโre approved for and what you feel comfortable spending could be two different things โบ๏ธ This will help you so much with your search!โฃ

Now that youโve done your research, ran your numbers, letโs get you pre-approved! In such a low inventory market right now, this is such a great thing to have ready to go if youโve found your potential happy place! โฃIf you’re new to Narragansett or unsure of who to use in the area, I would be so delighted to recommend a number of mortgage loan officers to reach out to!
