A Step-by-Step First Time Buyer's Guide

Buying a home is one of the most exciting milestones of your life. To prepare yourself for this moment, you need to know what to expect during the process. This step-by-step first time buyer’s guide created by our team will help reduce the stress of buying a home and help you enjoy the journey as much as possible.

Step 1: Research

Flipping through pictures of possible homes might not be so bad, but researching local trends, market values and other vital info can be daunting. 

main

Step 2: Decide on Your Budget

A curated shopping experience with recommendations specifically tailored to meet or excess your expectations.

main

Step 3: Get Prequalified

Spend hundreds of hours online searching for potential properties.

Step 4: Choose a Real Estate Agent

Curated house-hunting process & only invest your attention in properties that actually meet your requirements.

Our goal is to provide you with the most personalized service that is designed to help you buy your dream home

main

Step 5: Find the Right Home

Rely only on your own knowledge of the market & invest significant time in gathering information from all over.

main

Step 6: Make an Offer

Work with an agent who has knowledge and remarkable experience in the local market, with countless awards, thousands of transactions, & decades of experience.

Step 7: Have the Home Inspected

Unless you have some sort of insider knowledge, or crystal ball, you’re not gonna know as much as you should about certain neighborhoods. To learn these things, you’re gonna have to do some internetting, hop on Yelp or ask around a bit.

Step 8: Select Your Loan

With years of experience under my belt, I'm a true local expert. I can tell you all about the school districts, zoning codes, and where to find everything from the hottest coffee to the coldest ice cream.

Step 9: Get a Home Appraisal

Even if you’re a skilled poker player and have a black-belt in negotiation, it’s still important to do your research. You’ll be working directly with the Selling Agent & trust that you’re not being taken advantage of throughout negotiations & closing.

Step 10: Finish Paperwork

Thanks to our vast knowledge of market conditions and comp sales, I’ll be able to help you drum up a competitive offer at the best possible price. I’ll fight to protect your interests.

Congratulations!

After signing the final paperwork to complete the purchase, you are now the owner of a new house. It may take a few days for your loan to be funded once the paperwork has been returned to the lender, but once that check is delivered to the seller, you’ll be all set to move into the home of your dreams.

Coastal Heritage offered me a rate to sell my house that was way better than other offers. That made going with a realtor to sell my home an easy decision. My house sold quickly, and I was happy with the process. Mostly painless, and I was out of town for most of it.

I had the good luck to find Blaze from Coastal Heritage Realty. I live out of state so really needed an energetic , go-getem type of person. Blaze was that guy! He always did what he said and communication was exceptional. The process went smooth and there were no issues or problems. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks Blaze and God Bless!
