BUYING A HOME IS A MAJOR DECISION

IS THIS THE RIGHT DECISION?

  • Are you financially ready?
  • Do you know your monthly payments?
  • Can you handle minor maintenances?
Buying a home is a big commitment and I advice you to consider a few important criteria before starting out for house hunting.

Beside being a biggest financial decision, it also is a biggest emotional decision.

Making sure you understand the responsibilities well, ask a REALTOR(R) to help you. Buyer services are usually provided free of charge and buyers get professional consultations.

Your comments and feedback are appreciated.
