Westlake Village CA is a beautiful area for First Time Buyers to buy their first home. The city is split between two counties, Ventura County and Los Angeles County. Westlake Village is considered a suburb of Los Angeles. The closest two year college to to Westlake Village is Moorpark College. The closest four year University is California Lutheran University(CLU).
Being a First Time Home Buyer in the present market means you have many options available to you. The values of homes have drastically reduced over the past few years making home prices much more affordable. A First Time Buyer in this market will be able to buy much more home for the money compared to a few years ago. Also, another great aspect of buying your first home in Westlake Village is that the interest rates are still very affordable and at all-time lows.
For First Time Buyers to get familiar with home prices in Westlake Village I have taken the time to list all of the tracts in the city and the current pricing. If you visit my Westlake Village web page you will see the list toward the bottom of the page. This should be very helpful to you. Also available to First Time Buyers is a Home Buyer's Guide on the front page of my website.
Here are some important tips to First Time Home Buyers:

My son is going to be 30 on Thanksgiving Day. Can that be so? I can't possibly have a 30-year-old son!
Yes, it is so and I must face the fact that time moves forward.... it doesn't stop and wait for me to have a break, a moment of pause, a time to just take a break.... even while I am sleeping time is moving forward and everyone around me is getting older, including me!
30 years ago, when I held my little baby boy in my arms I had all the aspirations a new Mother has.... I just knew my son was going to be President of the United State one day! Together, through the years we've been through Little League Baseball (All-Star Pitcher!), Karate (made it to brown belt), Art Classes (that fizzled out fast), Piano Lessons (he can play "The Entertainer"), Trumpet Lessons (played in band from middle school through high school then sold the trumpet and hasn't played since)..... and then there was the time at 17 when he came to us and wanted to join the Marines! (Not that there is anything wrong with the Marines, but I just wasn't quite ready for that yet!)
Through the years he found his passion... DRUMS! After high school he tried a semester of Junior College and was miserable. He wanted to go to the Musician's Institute in Hollywood to study percussion, so we agreed and he excelled!
30 years later I am blessed to have a son who is a Hard Rock Drummer ... I would have never guessed that one! I have certainly been stretched and my mind has been opened up to a world I knew nothing about! But, I wouldn't change him or his passion! A Mother's love is constant and unconditional. Happy 30th Birthday to Wes, my son on Thanksgiving Day! Rock On!

We first decided to use Cheryl in September 2006 when we decided to lease a home in the Westlake Village area after relocating from Florida. Cheryl was extremely helpful in teaching us about the area and was always available to take us around to view new rental listings. She jumped right on a new listing knowing it would be exactly what we were looking for...and she was right. We leased the home the first day it was listed. Cheryl kept in touch with us and one year later we decided to stay in the area and purchase a home utilizing Cheryl once again. We are the first to admit that we are very difficult home buyers looking at more than 100 homes over the past year with Cheryl. During this whole time she has been cheerful, accommodating, and seriously concerned with doing whatever is in our best interest. We finally found a home we were interested in putting an offer in on and went into escrow. During that time the economy really took a turn for the worse and the lending terms were changed making it impossible to receive the loan we were originally approved for. All though owner financing was available we decided to back out of sale because of the situation with the financial institutions. Cheryl really went to bat for us and made sure we received a full refund on our deposit. As the search continues we will remain loyal clients of Cheryl Clayton and refusing to work with any other realtors. She has proven herself to be loyal, dedicated, hard working, caring and professional with us in every way...she has become a true friend. We highly recommend Cheryl to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home. She truly has her client's best interests at heart...and this is a trait that is no longer common in a world where people put making a dollar before anything." - Amy Baran
Great Results, Personable, Expert - Rich Ermolovich, Thousand Oaks
We met Cheryl through the internet and feel very lucky to have found her! She helped us find this wonderful townhome for our daughter. The communication and guidance we received through the entire process from start to finish was invaluable to us! Do yourself a favor and use Cheryl! She's great! - Andy Fong, Wood Ranch
Cheryl's non-stop, creative approach to promoting and marketing my home, got it sold in a cooling market! I recommend her highly to anyone who wants an aggressive Realtor who will get the job done right! -Ean Riley, Camarillo
Buying my first real estate property using Cheryl as my realtor was definitely one of the best decisions I have made. As a first time buyer, everything regarding the process was entirely new. Cheryl expertly guided me through all the aspects of the transaction, making sure I was on track at all times. On top of being highly professional, Cheryl is just a wonderful person. Even after the purchase of my property completed, Cheryl has kept in touch from more than just a typical sales-person, but as a friend. I strongly recommend Cheryl as a realtor! - Ronnie Du, Simi Valley
Cheryl did a fantastic job of finding the perfect home for our family and helping us move into our home. Her continued support and friendship helps us achieve our goals and we look forward to working with her again. - Bill Egan, Newbury Park
We feel very lucky to have had Cheryl represent us with our home purchase. We must have looked at over 15 homes before we found the perfect one for us. She was professional and informative from start to finish. Cheryl has not only become our realtor, but a part of our family. We highly recommend her. - Mike and Maya Tabbara, Wood Ranch
This was not our first time buying a home, but it was our first time buying a home with Cheryl as our realtor. We were so impressed with the way she stayed on top of the transaction at every turn. We had been searching for the right home for our family for quite some time and Cheryl helped us find it! We love our new home and we recommend Cheryl to anyone who wants a great realtor who is responsive, professional and on top of her game! - Steve and Michelle Moore, Thousand Oaks
