Help for First Time Homebuyers

Help for First Time Homebuyers

I believe that the first step for me to take, as a Realtor, is to provide information to my clients and possible clients.

This morning, while settling in at our usual booth in our regular Sunday breakfast restaurant, our waitress excitedly told me that she just found out she was going to be able to buy a home.

Great I said, do you have anyone helping you?? Yes, she said, I called on a sign and I am meeting with that Realtor next week for a consultation. She then asked, Why, is that what you do?? Well yes I said, thought I had mentioned it before.

After she went to put our order into the kitchen, my partner said, well that is a sale you lost. I said, I am not always comfortable telling people over and over that I sell Real Estate.

When she returned to chat, I offered her a copy of a book I give out to First Time Homebuyers, which she gladly accepted. I also told her I would be her resource if she didn't understand anything about the process. I also mentioned to her that in this market, not only are price and location an issue, but also what type of sale she chooses, a traditional sale, a short sale or an REO.

Thank you she said, I didn't know about that. I will call on you if I need help, because I know I can trust you.
