Tedi is passionate about helping first-time homebuyers score their first property; she says that “it is all about getting in the game.” But it is crucial to be adequately educated on the home buying process and what owning a home can mean for your future! Tedi believes in educating her clients on what to expect during their real estate journey.
The market has been HOT these past few years, especially in the Treasure Valley, and anyone who has attempted to buy a home knows that the road to real estate can be treacherous. But with Tedi behind the wheel, first-time buyers feel at ease and prepared for the journey ahead. Her clients rave that Tedi’s positive attitude makes a world of difference when it comes to buying a home.
What Kind of Home Are You Looking For? Tedi Can Help!
As we enter the finale of 2022, the market has softened, and more buyers are seeking a place to call home. Tedi’s advice: Decide what is important to you and your family! Is it the cost of the mortgage? Neighborhood schools? Lot size? Or perhaps the proximity to the Boise River Greenbelt? All valid considerations!
Okay, so after you make your checklist of property “must-haves,” it is time to make some hard decisions! A common question Tedi gets asked is: “New-build or pre-existing home?” Tedi encourages her clients to consider that there are several incentives to buy new construction homes right now. For example, builders offer a cash incentive to help you lower your interest rate. We like the sound of that; thanks for the heads up, Tedi!
But what if you’re looking for an older home with some charming character? Tedi suggests looking into whether or not the sellers have equity in the house that can be used to help with closing costs or further negotiations. Speaking of negotiations, this can be an essential part of a first-time buyer’s journey. Home buying negotiations are like a dance between the seller and the buyer. You want someone like Tedi, who is willing to step in and get the job done without spending too much time Waltzing around the deal.
