Buying Your First Home? Real Estate Agents Are Your Professional Guides. Make Sure You Choose a Top Expert. 

Hey, I've been there before, too! I remember what it was like buying my first home, before I got into real estate. You might be a bit afraid or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home - I know I was. Unfortunately, I don't think that I received the best representation that I could have. My agent didn't take the time to teach me the process, and I ended up with more questions than answers. I won't let that happen to you!

As a top Lake Travis real estate expert, it's my job to guide you, from beginning to end. I promise you will be expertly represented, and I will take the time to fully explain everything, every step of the way. There are no dumb questions! 

Many first-time buyers don't realize that there is absolutely no cost to them when working with a Realtor - sellers pay all the commissions. In addition, be aware that the listing agent (the Realtor whose sign is in the yard) represents the SELLER. You absolutely should have your own professional representation from a Buyers Agent to represent YOUR best interests. Do you really think the agent who represents the seller is going to agressively negotiate for YOU and get you the lowest price and the best deal possible? No way! I am certified as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) by the National Association of Realtors. An ABR is recognized as the utmost in professional representation for buyers.


Confused about the whole process? Let me help!

Confused?  Frustrated? 

Don't be! You might be a bit afraid or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home.

There are no dumb questions!

Together, we will consider:

- How much can you really afford? Is renting or buying better for you?

- How much cash you should put down. How much your payments will be.
- The tax advantages of buying.

Tell me a bit about your situation below. I'll get right back to you. There is absolutely no charge, and I offer this to you with no strings attached

Real Estate Tips
About Appraisals >Working With A Real Estate Agent

It is not unusual for homeowners to yield to the temptation to try to sell their own home. It seems easy enough--just place an ad in the weekend paper and wait for buyers to show up. Although it may seem simple, real estate sales transactions are extremely complex proceedings.

The first pitfall can come with pricing your property realistically. Homeowners often price their property too high initially, then drastically slash the price when weeks go buy without an offer. Even if a prospective buyer agrees to the initial asking price, there could be complications if the buyers begin to feel that they have agreed to pay too much, or if the lender's appraisal values the property at far less than the agreed-upon price. Some clients hire agents to market their home professionally after weeks or months of trying to sell their own home without success, or after their FSBO transaction fell through.
