First-time buyers

You do not have to know the process before you begin.

The first purchase can feel like a new language: preapproval, earnest money, inspections, contingencies, appraisal, title work, insurance, cash to close, and deadlines. Larry explains the decision in plain language and keeps the next step visible.

01

Prepare

Clarify payment comfort, available funds, credit and lending questions, timing, needs, and the people who will help you through the transaction.

02

Search & evaluate

Build a focused search, view homes, understand comparable value, investigate condition, and avoid being rushed by the excitement of a showing.

03

Contract to keys

Navigate the offer, earnest money, inspections, repairs, appraisal, lender requirements, title work, walkthrough, closing, and possession.

Clear answers

Questions clients ask.

Do I need a preapproval before looking at homes?

A solid preapproval helps define the payment and price range and strengthens an offer. Larry can help you understand the questions to ask a lender without requiring you to choose a particular company.

How much money do I need to buy?

That depends on the loan, down payment, earnest money, inspections, appraisal, closing costs, prepaid items, and negotiated terms. A lender should provide a personalized estimate.

What if I am not ready yet?

That is still a good time to talk. A calm plan made early can prevent pressure and expensive surprises later.
