Owning your own home is a universal and timeless dream. In many ways, this dream is more accessible today than ever before. However, one of the first realizations a prospective home buyer often comes to is that the “dream home” does not always seem affordable.
Buying a home has changed in the New Millennium. Before, buyers usually shopped for the best house they could find, then “took out” a loan to pay for it. Today, prospective buyers must shop as thoroughly for the best financing as they do for the best house.
Experience has taught us that the buying process involves common stages for all homebuyers. To help you understand that process, and make the most of every day and dollar you spend, HomeLife has prepared this Home Buyer’s Guide to provide an overview of the investment: from the planning table to the closing table. Of course, this short guide cannot answer all your questions. For specific answers we encourage you to consult a HomeLife Higher Standards Sales Representative. After all, helping you fulfil your home ownership dream is our business.
