Buying A Home

When purchasing a home, or an investment property, you are faced with an array of decisions. One of which is whether or not you are prepared to make this big step! Location is key and mortgages can be confusing. But, no need to be discouraged, the Mario Lopes Real Estate Inc. team is prepared to help you through these struggles and show you that your goal of purchasing real-estate is attainable.

Step-by-step we will be at your side to offer support, insight, and advice. Using an experienced agent can save you stress, time, energy and money. With a plan of action, we can help you become a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess your ideal property and help you through the myriad of details regarding the actual purchase.

By maintaining familiarity with the current homes on the market, we know an array of neighborhoods extremely well. With this, we can foresee what owning a property in a specific area will entail – both good and bad.

The following questions we will ask a new client…

1) Why are you buying a home? Perhaps to stop paying rent, to build equity, to have a place of your own, to raise a family, to entertain business associates, to upgrade?

2) Where would you like to live or where would you like to seek out tenants? This is the time to be specific and let your realtor do the work to find your ideal home. Imagine yourself zeroing in on a target, taking into considerations area, community, commute etc.

3) What kind of home are you looking for? Consider factors such as size, space, age, and overall amenities. The more specific you are, the better chance of your realtor finding you a home as quick as possible.

Once you have answered these questions, its time to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done online or over the phone in a couple of minutes. Not sure where to look? Give us a call and we can refer you to an excellent mortgage professional.

Upon pre-qualifying, we can help you determine which listings fit your specific needs using our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system which operates 24 hours a day sending you potential listings to review.

Ultimately, our top priority is making sure that your home buying experience is stress-free, cost-effective and seamless.
