First Time Homebuyer Guide for Success


For most buyers, choosing a home is exciting and emotional at the same time. Our agents can assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at.


A real estate agent can help guide you through each step of the buying process, offering sound advice along the way. By working with a professional agent at the Robert Lilley Brokerage who knows the ins and outs of the real estate industry, you’ll not only end up with a great home, but you’ll also walk away with a great experience.


Here are some of the key areas that our agents can help you with:


STEP 1: CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT & SCORE

STEP 2: FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN AFFORD

STEP 3: FIND THE RIGHT LENDER AND REAL ESTATE AGENT

STEP 4: LOOK FOR THE RIGHT HOME

STEP 5: MAKE AN OFFER ON THE HOME

STEP 6: GET THE RIGHT MORTGAGE FOR YOUR SITUATION

STEP 7: CLOSE ON YOUR HOME

STEP 8: MOVE IN!


Having the right agent can be the difference in finding your home and having a successful negotiation. One of the most important parts of finding a home that you love, is to make sure you are pre-qualified for a loan so you know what you can afford.


Tip: Do not look at homes over your budget. You don't want to fall in love with a home you can't afford and then feel disappointed in the homes within your budget.





The Robert Lilley Brokerage can help you through the process that will help you succeed in finding your starter home. No home is going to be 100% perfect with everything you want, so make your list of "needs" and "wants." To get started, download our guide for the First Time Homebuyer.
