Cheaper AND Smarter than Renting

Understand the process.

Buying real estate is a complex matter and can be especially confusing for the first-time Puchaser. We here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are in the  depths of severe "BUYERS MARKET". This is a great benefit to buyers like yourself. With Property prices dipping lower than they have been in years it is a great time to purchase. Real Estate is probably one of the best investments you can make if done properly. It is smarter and better to buy than it is to rent with the current Market conditions. ESPECIALLY FOR 1ST TIME HOME BUYERS!!

(PS. Call me ASAP about the $50,000 Gulfport HOMELINE Grant money)

Use a REALTOR(R).

As a buyer, it costs nothing to hire a real estate professional to help you find and purchase a home--your Realtor will likely get a portion of the commission the seller pays to his Realtor. When choosing an agent pick an agent that works in the neighborhoods you're interested in. Listen to your agent, but make your own decision.

INSURANCE & FINANCING

If you have not pre-approved for a loan yet you should call and do so. In todays market you MUST be Pre-approved before making an offer, and some sellers REQUIRE a pre-approval before they allow an agent to show their property. It just takes a quick phone call and it is done almost immediately.

I have the names of two lenders down here that have been getting VERY good rates and programs. 

 

FBT Mortgage 228-257-9000 speak to Molly or email her at mlionberger@ctmloans.com

Mississippi Mortgage   228-217-6270 speak to Donnie or email her at dblaylock@msmtg.net.

 

It just takes a second and can save you alot of trouble later!!! Make sure that you mention my name when you call so that they can call me if they have any questions for me.
