| When
you are buying a home, specially if it's your
first one, there are so many questions to ask
and information to seek. Although price is quite
often the greatest factor in a home purchase,
you need to think about what fits into your current
lifestyle as well as into your probable future
lifestyle.
-
how much of a
mortgage do I qualify for as a buyer? Downpayment
together with mortgage qualification usually
helps determine the price range you can look
into.
-
how large a home
do I need (number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms,
size of yard, size of garage, etc.
Although price is
quite often the greatest factor in a home purchase,
you need to think about what size of home in what
location would suit your current lifestyle as
well as your probable future lifestyle. If you
buy low but then find out that you need a bigger
home or a different location, such a double move
could cost you a lot more in the long run.
Dave and Monica McGrath
will sit down with you and help you determine
the what, where and when of home buying. |
There
is more to selling than just getting the price
you wanted for your property. The presentation
of an offer is the culmination of all the services
and hard work Monica and Dave McGrath offer you
as a seller.
Once you receive an offer, there are several
issues to consider, such as
- do the possession dates match, or have you
thought of alternative arrangements and the
cost of those arrangements?
- is there a penalty for early discharge of
your mortgage?
- can your mortgage be assumed by a buyer and
would you like it to be?
- have you found another home to move into and
have put in an offer subject to the sale of
your present property?
Discuss the various possibilities and points to
ponder with Monica and Dave before you get an offer-
that way you will be prepared! |
