Tip for first-time home buyer shopping #howtobuyahomeguy

The thing that made me feel even more comfortable about it was the area, the houses on the street. Like, it was such a nice neighborhood. And I got a chance to, like, sort of, like, walk around the neighborhood because, like, Portland's pretty walkable city. So it wasn't just the house. It was seeing the neighborhood and driving around the area and seeing what's available. You know, my pharmacy is right down the corner, and how far am I from the Freddy's? And, you know, grocery store, stuff like that. How where's my Costco? That definitely helped. And. And then it just happened really quickly.

Th. Those things that you talk about are hugely important stuff. I will talk to buyers all over the country, thousands of people, and some will get very fixated on the things that you talked about, but they won't think about the mortgage. And then some people will be totally fixated on the mortgage, and they'll see pictures online, and it's competitive, so they want to make an offer right now, and I need to remind them a little bit.
