Smart Young person… planning for the future.

I spent a delightful hour with a young person yesterday afternoon.  He is now a registered nurse and wanted to know how to plan for his first real estate acquisition. The following are a few of the subjects we covered:

• what is the home buying process
• how much home should he buy
• what reserves should a person have in addition to accumulating a down payment
• how to establish credit
• looked at personal life style goals to determine the type and location a a future home purchase.

No, he is not ready to buy a home for at least a year, but we agreed to meet on a quarterly basis and review his status. That is what every young person should be doing. I enjoy meeting with young people who are just starting out as well as with those that have questions about selling their home of many years and downsizing for retirement.

As a real estate broker for over 35 years and also being a Certified Financial Planner ( I only sell real estate) I bring a different perceptive to the real estate buying and selling process.

Calls and e-mails are always welcome. There is no charge for a visit:)
