Contemplating buying your new home in Austin?

With a little up-front planning, buying a home isn't too confusing, but the event can be stressful for many people. I like to furnish buyers with an overview of the entire deal so they understand exactly what they can expect. These are my nine steps to buying a home. When you're ready to get started, simply contact me here or e-mail me at . I'm glad to answer any questions you have regarding this information.

Step 1

Prepare to purchase a home

There are many things you should contemplate before you start looking for a home. When you start your search, you'll probably want to make an outline of items you need, get an idea of what neighborhoods and school districts you'd like to live in, and begin working on your budget. Ensuring your mortgage payment is no more than 30 percent of your net monthly income is a good rule of thumb to go by.
