When is the best time to start your first-home buying journey?

The best time to start your first-time home buying journey is 1 year before you want to buy. 

Watch this brilliant video series for first time buyers from David Bach.* If you follow the to-do’s, it will help you buy a home faster and smarter. The series covers:

• what is a credit score and why you should care

• how to find our your credit score and fix it so you save thousands on your mortgage

• finding the best mortgage rate—again, potentially saving you thousands and questions you might need to ask your realtor (hopefully, that’s me).

So grab a glass of wine or a coffee, relax, and watch this brilliant video series. And please email me if you have more questions—I honestly don’t mind.

*This series is based on U.S. real estate but most of the material still applies to us Canadians. What’s not as helpful for us are the links to shop for a mortgage or loan, and the questions to ask your mortgage broker. In Canada, you don’t need to worry if a mortgage company can close on time, banks no longer give pre-approval letters, there are no closing fees unless you are using a B-lender, and we don’t pay down points. For more details about what applies to Canadian home buyers, please contact me.
