Purchasing Your Home

Any major purchase requires research, careful analysis, consideration, and thought. Home buying isn't any different! Determining the right location, the number of bedrooms or bathrooms needed, and outdoor space is the easier things. However, there are many other factors to think about in your home search. From your initial search to the moment you get the keys to your new home, I will be there, guiding you through the process. I can even help connect you with mortgage professionals to get the best rates.

How much house can I afford?  
A general rule of thumb is that housing expenses should not exceed 30%.  This percentage is different from what you may qualify for.  It also does not account for other expenses, or debt that you may have.
