First Timers

While meeting with first time home buyers this past week, I was reminded of how fortunate I am to have been able to work with this very extraordinary group of buyers. Beside the fact that I learn so much from this group, there is just something about a first time home buyer, maybe it is an aura they possess, I am not sure, however, helping them into home ownership gives me the most gratifying feeling and makes my job as a realtor the very best!

First time home buyers are curious and engaged and soak up every bit of information that we as realtors can provide them, just like that proverbial sponge! They have questions and comments and concerns, and often feel immense fear in regard to the jump that they are about to take, and look to the professional for those answers and at times some much needed hand holding! I for one am delighted to be part of their life during these times.

The excitement begins with the journey of the house hunt, then the shock and reality and total exhilaration when their offer is accepted. Some major TLC may come into play during the lending and escrow process … however as they say “the best for the last”!

When the keys are delivered and you see the smiles, the enthusiasm and the excitement, and you realize that you have helped your clients to take that step to home ownership, thus creating their own American Dream … well, it is just a remarkable feeling and I want to do it all over again!
