There are many concerns a Hawaii First Time Home Buyer may have about buying their first home. There will be many questions and you need those answers regarding your first home purchase and I'm here to help you along with that process.
Let's make this a smooth transition by starting out with the concerns many Hawaii First Time Home Buyers have in the purchase of their first home:
What is my first step to start the home buying process? Speak to a local lender who will pre-approve you for a loan by collecting all pertinent information and documentation. Make sure and let them know what kind of monthly payment you're comfortable with. After processing your information they will let you know how much you will qualify for.
Why Can't You Show Me Properties Before I'm Preapproved for a Loan? Knowing what price range you're approved for will keep you in a realistic frame of mind in searching for that dream home. There is no sense looking at million dollar homes when you are qualified for a half a million dollar home. We make appointments and look at your selected price range of homes (or condos/townhouses) so we aren't spinning our wheels and wasting time.
Can You Give Me Information About the Home Buying Process? There's more to the process than looking at homes and submitting a contract. There are contingencies in a contract to consider and time lines for home inspections, the loan and escrow process as well. Take a few moments to read through some of the Home Buyer Advisory.
