How To Win As A First Time Home Buyer in Orange County | Fridays with Fred

Life can be very exciting as a first time home buyer in Orange County. You’re taking steps to buying your first home and like many people who have made the same decision without really knowing what the entire home buying process is really like.

To help out all first time home buyers in Orange County, this post will provide you with two important things you can do now to guarantee that you will win as a first time home buyer and purchase the home that you’ve been dreaming about.

Step 1 – Have a Buyer Consultation with Your Realtor

A buyer consultation is vital for any first time home buyer because, it will enable you to get to know your Realtor and insure that they will purchase a home that’s right for you. 

Besides helping you to get to know your Realtor you will also be able to get a complete breakdown of the entire home buying process that includes:

• Looking at homes
• Writing offers
• The escrow process

Having a buyer consultation with your Realtor should take about an hour, but it’s a necessary first step to successfully navigating the “waters” of the home buying process.

Step 2 – Confirm Your Financing

Before moving forward with submitting an offer on a home you should make sure that you’ve fully handled the financing process by doing the following:

• Meet with your lender
• Get pre-approved for a mortgage

Once you’ve confirmed that you will have financing to purchase a home you can successfully review Orange County homes for sale in your price range and have confidence that you will be able to win the home of your dreams.
