Rochelle Dale is committed to helping you every step of the way. From giving you great advice from the onset about what you need to be successful in buying a home or property, to walking with you through the steps, to finishing with you on the crucial timing of closing and handing you the keys!

When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions. The primary one is determining whether or not you are actually positioned to purchase a home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can sometimes be a complex and tiring process. However, once you have determined that you are ready to move forward with the required effort towards your home-purchasing goal, the rewards are unquestionable.

 

At your side each step of the way, Rochelle Dale will help you prepare so that sellers perceive you as the preferred buyer. This includes helping you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and guiding you through the myriad of details attending to the actual purchase.

Rochelle Dale makes it her job to remain familiar with the
current homes and properties on the market and the neighborhood values, so she can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you even start your search.

Your First Step

Your first step to buying a home is to first ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house? Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Someday you or your heirs will want to sell. Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
