First-Time Lafayette Home Buyers
If you are a first-time Lafayette home buyer, welcome to the Robbie Breaux & Team first-time home buying experts!
Below are some general guidelines for first-time home buyers (though any home buyer can benefit by reviewing the list).
- Get a Mortgage Pre-approval : Meet with a mortgage broker or banker to discover how much you can afford to pay for a home.
- Write Down a List of Needs & Wants: Make 2 lists for your needs and wants. The first list should be those things you MUST HAVE. These items could be the number of bedrooms, a backyard or a garage. The second list of wants could be things such as a white kitchen or a pool. The best way to think about it is that the first list includes things that cannot be easily added or changed in a home. The second list are items, such as carpet color, that can be changed at a later date after purchase.
- Have a Professional Buyers Agent Assist You: Remember that the real estate agent selling a home usually represents the seller and their interests, not your interest as a buyer. Robbie Breaux & Team are home buyer experts that would represent you and your interests, not those of the home seller.
- Stay Focused & Organized: When thinking about buying your new home, consider your Lafayette home buying wants and needs. Write them down and keep them in mind as the Robbie Breaux & Team show you all of the options for new homes in the Lafayette area.
Buying that first home can be overwhelming, thats why you should contact the pros at Robbie Breaux & Team to make that process easy and enjoyable.
