Top Tips for first-home buyers

I have helped many first-home buyers into their first homes during my time as a real estate agent. It is such an exciting step to take and I make sure that it is as stress-free and smooth as possible.

A few tips I can give first-home buyers or those who haven’t purchased a property in a while and are wanting to buy are:

  • Seek advice from a mortgage or financial adviser (There is no cost for this)

  • Check if you can use your Kiwisaver as a deposit

  • Get in touch with a real estate agent to help with the buying process

Not all listings go online and agents are well-connected. This could lead you to a property that you never knew existed and could save you from settling for a home purely because you have limited options. I personally also sit with buyers and talk them through the entire buying process. This makes everything a lot more easier for buyers as they know exactly what to expect at every step.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have specific requirements for your next home.

As an agent that has worked locally for over 20 years I often come across listings that are yet to go live online.
