Finding Your Team
Finding and Working With Your Housing Counselor
Housing counselors are valuable professionals to consider when you begin the homebuying process. They’ll help you assess your financial situation, budget appropriately, and be well prepared for successful homeownership.
Finding and Working With Your Real Estate Agent
Your real estate agent likely will be the first person you’ll meet on “your homeownership team.” They play a very important role – helping you find the right home at the right price – and will likely be with you every step of the way during your homebuying process.
Finding and Working With Your Lender
Your lender is an equally important part of your team, helping you determine if you qualify for a loan and, if so, how much they are willing to lend you. It’s important to find a lender that you trust and who offers competitive rates and terms.
