Navigating Your Home-Buying Journey

  • Marks Realty Group

Feeling overwhelmed about buying a home? You're not alone! Our mission is to help you find your place in the world — read on the essential tips to help you in your home-buying journey.

 

Know your budget

Figure out how much you can afford as a monthly payment. Consider the home’s price, your down payment, mortgage rate, home insurance, and property taxes.
 

Partner with a pro

Compass was recently ranked #1 brokerage in the nation* — for the third year in a row. Working with a buyers' agent means expert guidance, negotiation support, and help navigating a historically challenging market.
 

Be flexible about size and location

Your budget might fit a small home in your perfect neighborhood, or a larger home further out. Understanding your priorities means you can move quickly when it counts.
 

Keep an eye on your market

Compass Collections can show you available homes, their prices, and how quickly they sell. You’ll know when something great hits the market and can feel confident you’re making a well-researched decision.
