Thinking of Buying Real Estate?

Here are some helpful ways to set yourself up for success!

Welcome! You’ve come to the right place, especially if you’re looking at homes for sale in Warner Robins, Middle Georgia, or Houston County area…or really anywhere in the state! Whether this is your first time considering purchasing, you’re sizing up, or emptying the nest, I want to be your Realtor- and for life! Your priorities may change with your current life season, but one thing remains the same: owning real estate is the strongest, safest, and most consistent way to build personal wealth. As your agent, my priority will always be to protect you and your investment: the worst mistakes are the costly ones, and hindsight is the best teacher. With me in your corner, you can relax knowing that I’m here for you every step of the way, no matter what!

While buying a home is usually fairly uniform across areas, prices, and home sizes, EVERY single real estate transaction is as unique as the people in them. When you hire me, I will help you to design your very own list of next steps that is unique to your situation… when I’m your Realtor, you won’t need to worry about what comes next- you’ll already be ready for it!

A large portion of our real estate market is in property management- the leasing of privately-owned properties. While Robins Air Force Base is our largest employer, Houston, Peach, Bibb, Bleckley, and Pulaski counties all offer plenty of career opportunities that keep our economy thriving. I represent many property owners who trust us to keep their homes rented and well-maintained. I also enjoy connecting tenants with properties in our market- when you buy an investment property, you’ll have me with you throughout your ownership.

As an experienced Realtor in Warner Robins with over a decade of real estate expertise, I’ve helped people in all ages and stages of life to maximize their investments and build lasting strategies for growth. I have a passion for helping others, and always bring 100% of my energy and focus with me. While my expertise is in residential real estate, I’m not new to the commercial and land sales also!

Have Questions About Buying?

Check out the below common questions buyers have!

The short answer is yes. But the actual answer is it depends on the situation. So much goes into the value of a home: its condition, the market, the economy, and so much more.

As your agent, I show you how to be a buyer who thinks like a seller. In doing so, you’re able to anticipate future problems with the home that could affect its value. You can look at location, upcoming economic shifts and neighborhood activity, plus home amenities to see how the value will weather any storm. So while your home may depreciate during a down market, you can make choices now that can protect its viability: condition, amenities, features, and so much more can be controlled by the homeowner to maximize value.

It can be! In a thriving economy, the cost to build a new home will be more expensive because materials are more costly. However, new homes take at least a few months to build, so it’s not always an option for buyers needing something immediately. For this reason, new construction can really compete with resale homes because they both have different costs and benefits. A professional agent can help you weigh your options in your specific situation so that you’re confident in your decision.

In the most simple terms, a broker is an individual (or entity like a brokerage) who is legally permitted to bring two parties together for their mutual benefit. Home sellers need to sell, and home buyers need to buy. A broker helps keep all parties within legal boundaries, helps keep focus on the transaction/goal, and negotiates on their client’s behalf with their best interest in mind. 

If you are a client, your broker owes you complete confidentiality- nothing you say can be shared without your express permission.

If you purchase a property putting less than 20% down on the loan, your lender will establish an escrow account for you. Your monthly mortgage payment will include taxes and insurance (the lender predicts your taxes and insurance cost and divides it into 12 payments), and your escrow account will pay those items for you. It’s usually a good idea to call the tax commissioner and your homeowners insurance company to verify payment is made, just to verify.

That depends entirely on who your lender is and what kind of loan you’re getting. The average is about 35 days for a loan. Conventional loans do not usually take that long, while FHA or VA loans may take a little longer. Ask your lender for their average days from contract to closing.

Hope is the type of realtor you really want finding your home. She listens to your wants and musts; then works diligently to find your dream home. My husband broke his ankle and she video called me to do a walk through we had scheduled. It ended up being the perfect home for us.

Hope helped sell my Dad's home and I don't know what we would have done without her. Her depth of knowledge about both the local market as well as the process of selling is invaluable. She returns calls and texts almost immediately and her calm approach put everyone at ease during the always stressful period of getting a home on the market through to signing the paperwork.
