The current real estate market is hot—almost too hot to handle for all the buyers out there. Homes are selling so quickly and competitively that buyers can start feeling a little desperate about finally getting that dream house they’ve been waiting for so long.

Never fear. At Dewbrew Realty, we’re here to help. We’re roller coaster veterans who’ve been navigating the twists and turns for a while now with so many wonderful clients, and we know how to help you enjoy the ride. And the best thing we can do for you first of all is help you get prepared for the adventure.

Everyone buckled in? Okay, here you go. Three “Top Tips” for buying your first home.

Second, get prequalified with a local mortgage broker. This is so important to setting you up for quick, effective negotiations when we locate that perfect house. The market is so competitive right now that approaching a seller without prequalification almost guarantees being passed over to more prepared buyers. If you don’t have a relationship with a mortgage broker, we can help. We can refer you to one of our recommended lenders who will meet your specific lending needs, or we can help you work with one you may already know.

Third, relax. Don’t let the headlines scare you. The news media promotes fear for a living, which makes for great profits for the media but doesn’t help you make good decisions. For sure, it is a highly competitive market, but our professional experience can help you navigate safely through—and have fun along the way! We do this every day, all day, and we live to help your dreams become reality. So relax. Enjoy the journey.

There you go. Three “Top Tips” for getting you started. Reach out if you think we can help you on your journey to finding your dream house. As we love to say at Dewbrew Realty, “We take the hassle out of finding your castle!”

We look forward to serving you.
