First Time Real Estate Home Buyers and Loan in The Woodlands ~ Shenandoah, Texas, REMAX REALTOR

First Time Real Estate Home Buyers Loan in The Woodlands ~ Shenandoah, Texas, REMAX REALTOR

I had the priviledge of working with First Time Home Buyers in The Woodlands / Shenandoah, Texas!

They had relocated here from Colorado and were looking for something with a POOL!  Not a lot of options but staying within the budget we found a gorgeous, updated home, with a pool and a hot tub!

First of all we started with the LOAN PROCESS:

As a first time HOME BUYER you may feel a little overwhelmed with the entire process of buying your first home!  You need all the information and resources necessary to give you the confidence and financial help needed to make the dream of buying your first home become Real!!!!!!! The more you know about the home buying process, the more likely you will be able to purchase the home of your dreams. For instance, the largest hurdle most first time home buyers face is saving the funds necessary for a down payment. Did you know that nearly every state has a program to help first time home buyers with the down payment? Some of that help is in the form of outright gifts: grants that never have to be repaid. In addition to state programs, there are also Federal programs available. I want you to be able to buy your first house and enjoy all the wonderful benefits that home ownership brings. 

Here are a few Mortgage Brokers that I HIGHLY recommend:

Alan Bailey, Manager of Network Funding:  (281)895-9960  .. Alan handled these first time home buyers with a WONDERFUL AND SMOOTH LOAN ...

Saundra Capps, Mortgage Broker and specialist:  (936)760-9766

The CLOSING went smoothly and the sellers were so easy to work with!!!!!!!!!

 I had to take a picture of the buyers driving into their driveway for the FIRST time ...

This was a very, very HAPPY moment ...

Holding the keys to their NEW HOME in Shenandoah, Texas!

SOLD ..........

OK, so we had to settle for an Eskimo kiss ... (she had a cold)

 

There is a WONDERFUL JOY with your first HOME purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to help you find your FIRST HOME in The Woodlands & Shenandoah, Texas!

I'm adding the buyers comment after my article (of course I'm a bit teary adding this into this article , I wish everyone was like them!)

"As the first time home buyer in the picture above, I can not express enough gratitude towards Pippa!!!!!  Although both my husband and I are working, we chose to look at houses that we could afford on just one income.  We had 3 other agents, prior to Pippa, who kept pushing us to look at houses that were in our 2 income range.  Not Pippa!!!!  She honored our request and never pushed us to look at anything outside of whatever range we chose.  She was a FANTASTIC listener and brought us only to houses that met our criteria.  She is so HUMBLE to say that all we wanted was a pool!  She helped us to think about those things that were truly important to my husband and I.  Pippa was able to match us to our first home dream.

She treated us as if we were one of her family members and continues to do so!!!!!  I would not hesitate for 1 millisecond to recommend Pippa as a real estate agent!  All I can say (tears welling up) is THANK-YOU Pippa!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh yeah ... I'm kind of having a hard time not crying on this one!  We started 5 months earlier and they didn't find their "dream home" right away.  I thought they had dissapeared but they emailed one day that they had found a few homes that met their criteria ... I guess it pays to LISTEN to your clients!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know when "baby" is on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad to see you back posting and this is a gem! I do not often work with first timers but it's obvious that these two were happy as clams! It's a great feeling to help others and they will probably be a good source for future business too!
