FIRST TIME HOME BUYER SEMINARS

Are you new to the home buying process and do not have a clue on where to start? Would you like to be educated on the process so you know what to expect? A first-time home buyer seminar might be a good place to start.

Usually these seminars provide information on how best to get pre-approved, why it is important to work with a Realtor, why you need an attorney, the role of a home inspector, and various other people who will cross your path during the process.  The process can become overwhelming at times so it is good to know what to expect.

With all these professionals together you have an opportunity to ask questions and also to benefit from the experiences of others.  Traditionally these seminars occur in the evening or on Saturday morning.  Getting up early could definitely work in your favor.

If you decide you would like to attend a buyer seminar, contact your local bank to see if they have any plans to do one soon.  For example Cathy Dyl , a mortgage broker at Stoneham Bank, does seminars periodically during the year.  Also you could contact our office. We would be very happy to point you in the right direction.

The spring market is going to be very competitive.  Educating yourself on the process will help alleviate stress along the way!
