New Homebuyer Tips offered by ERA Justin Realty 2016 NJ Realtors Circle of Excellence Achievers

New Homebuyer Tips offered by ERA Justin Realty

2016 NJ Realtors Circle of Excellence Achievers

Ask any of the ERA Justin Realty 2016 NJ Realtors Circle of Excellence achievers and they will advise, “Buying a home is a focused decision to begin with; the only prospect more daunting may be doing it for the first time. But by asking the right questions and considering a few simple but important issues, you can pave the way for some powerful beginner's luck. Becoming a first-time homeowner has possible uncertainties, but remember that you're not alone. A past National Association of Realtors survey says, first-timers made up nearly half of all homebuyers. With so many making a move, you can too."

Chances are they did it with the help of a real estate professional, possibly including L to R: Jennifer Sullivan, Kristen Davis, Daniel Simone, Rosemarie Zembryski, Libra Schilare, Michelle Korosy, Julia Dagistanli, Cathy Vick, Joana Iliescu, Fara Espandi and Carol D. Calamari who can navigate the complexities of the home buying process and let you concentrate on the rewards of a new experience. These professionals will tell you that there are three major points you should take into account: finding the right financing, investigating the community you're considering, and evaluating your prospective home's amenities.

Before your home-search begins it's helpful to determine what price-range you are comfortable with and get prequalified for a mortgage loan. Some hopeful home-seekers will quit the search before they start, out of worry that they can't afford a down payment or sheer unfamiliarity with the financing process. But today those worries are often unfounded. There is an array of financing options available for aspiring homeowners of almost every income. For example they can suggest many different mortgage companies with one likely to fit your unique financing needs.

Once you've gained confidence about financing, it's important to make sure you're familiar with the location you'd like to live in. Think about what you want in a community and how your chosen location meets your needs including nearness to the city (or country), reputation of the school system, access to public transportation, and property values. This is another task that ERA Justin Realty with tools like their websites search functions on www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com, are perfectly equipped to help you. Those web site features, unique 1000’s of homes sections, are designed so a prospect can view homes for sale in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties, all areas in which ERA Justin Realty lists and sells.

You also need to evaluate the soundness of your possible new home. What condition are major components like the furnace, windows and roof in? Is it a house needing only cosmetic improvements which will one day pay for themselves in resale value, or structural repairs that will affect your future profit? A qualified home inspector can help you answer such questions with confidence.

Jennifer Darby Metzger Broker Co-owner added “There is a difference in real estate companies and first-time homebuyers have the benefit of our knowledgeable award achievers. We ask Buyers and Sellers to compare.  We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what our Realtor agents are about, we don’t offer just real estate basics, we try to be as comprehensive as possible.  In that way, we know that our Buyers and Sellers will hold us all in the highest regard."
