Jennifer Sullivan offers 2017 Tips for First Time Homebuyers

Ask ERA Justin Realtor agent Jennifer Sullivan and she will advise, “Buying a home is an exciting decision, possibly daunting the first time. But by asking the right questions and considering a few simple but important matters, you can pave the way for some powerful beginner's luck. Becoming a first-time homeowner may have uncertainties to you , but remember you're not alone. That's why I'm here. A past National Association of Realtors® survey says, first-timers made up nearly half of all homebuyers. With so many making the move, you can too. With the thousands of homes purchased since 1950 and new listings presented at our office each week, this is a wonderful time to finally own your dream home.

You will have help from one of ERA Justin Realtor agents who have navigated the buying process, and let you concentrate on the rewards of home ownership. Our ERA Justin Realty team 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 qualities.

Before your home search begins it's helpful to determine what price-range you are comfortable with and get pre-approved for a 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 qualified homeowners of almost every income and one is likely to fit your unique financing needs.

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 one meets these interests, reputation of the school system and access to public transportation, These are tasks that ERA Justin Realty, with tools like the neighborhood search functions on its popular websites www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com is perfectly equipped to help you with. Our websites feature our unique 1000’s of homes section, where a prospect can view almost every house for sale in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties, all areas in which we list and sell homes."
