Buyer Preparation

I Want To Purchase A New Home? What Do I Need To Do To Prepare For Purchasing?

By Shayne Bowen

The best-prepared purchasers get the best properties – period!! They not only know how to find the best properties, they are so thoroughly prepared that they are able to act quickly when an outstanding property is found, and therefore beat-out other, less qualified purchasers for that property. In short, preparation pays!!!!!

Considering that a home purchase is the most significant financial transaction in most people’s lives, it is prudent and wise (and smart!) to prepare fully!! I have created a system to make it easy for you. Here is that system. Take advantage of my 25 years of experience in the industry!!!

Step 1: Call me for a lender referral. We can give you a referral to a superb and highly reputable local lender!

Step 2: Call our lender, and tell them you need to get pre-approved. Our lender will ask you a few questions, and will handle all of the details to get you pre-approved (this is a critical step!). There is no cost (except a minor amount for a credit report). Without pre-approval, you will be at a severe disadvantage when competing with other pre-approved buyers (almost all buyers now get pre-approved before looking for homes, so this is quite important!!!).

Step 3: Call me for my free, personal one-on-one Buyer’s Seminar. This seminar covers all aspects of the home purchase process. Here are just a few of the topics:

A thorough and complete calculation of principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (before tax benefits).
A calculation of monthly payments after tax benefits and appreciation.
A detailed calculation and explanation of what the closing costs would be for the prospective purchase.
How to adjust tax exemptions to make home purchasing much easier, by getting tax savings monthly, instead of at the end of the year!
The latest information on aggressively using the multiple listing service to see all possible homes in real time, immediately upon their entry onto the market!
How to properly read MLS information to the best advantage of the buyer, in order to locate the best properties before other buyers (or investors) do.
How to use our direct notification service regarding real-time updates on the newest home listings that have come onto the market.
Strategies for winning against multiple offers!!!
Detailed calculations regarding benefits: leverage, growth in net worth, and significant tax benefits!!

Avoiding websites with dated or incomplete home information (this is SO important!!).
