How do I choose between renting or buying?

Owning a home offers tax benefits as well as the freedom to make decisions about your home. Homeowners, unlike renters, can secure a fixed-rate loan and lock in their monthly payments and make investment plans knowing these expenses won't change substantially. However, rent can go up each year without renter's input. Renters are at the whim of their landlord, while homeowners are in control of their property when it comes to decisions, such as whether they allow pets, any decorating or improvements that are permanent.

Help for Home Buyers.

If you're purchasing a new home, We'll help you find one that meets your needs and complements your lifestyle. Once you've made your selection, We can assist you in acquiring financing, negotiating with the seller and completing the transaction.

We will:

	Work on your behalf to streamline your home search, first expanding your choices, then helping you narrow the field.
	Research "comparable" properties to determine a fair price and terms.
	Prepare your Purchase Agreement and accompanying legal documents.
	Negotiate for the price, terms and conditions that are agreeable to you.
	Follow-up with your mortgage lender, the title company, the seller's agent and others until the house is yours.
