Buying Your First Home Is A Beginning in Homeownership Not Necessarily An End
Today was spent showing property to a sweet newly married couple on a very tight budget. They so want to buy a home and stop paying rent. After a couple conversations about paring down their wish list and opening their eyes to possibilities of what could be a perfect first home we ventured out.
The day was beautiful. They were so excited and as we visited each home I could tell they were looking at each one as a beginning in home-ownership and not an end. Yes, I could see they truly understood what I had been trying to tell them.
We all start somewhere in home-ownership. And as the years pass and we look back at that first home it has a special place in our home-ownership journey. It mey not have been the biggest, and it probably wasn't the fanciest but it was where we started and grew. We love it for what it was/is...our first home.
Tonight she texted me and they really, really like one home a lot. I will be checking out some answers on a few items and if all is well we will move forward with an offer.
It is such an exciting time when a first time home buyer understands that
Buying Your First Home is a beginning in home-ownership and not necessarily an end.

Martha - Awesome! Your right this is only the beginning for this young couple. Kudos for having a great Sunday!
This is great. I suggested it. It is so important for us to help buyers see that many times this is the first home they will own but likely not the last.
This is exactly why I love working with first time homebuyers. It's a magical journey.
I still remember my very first home. In fact, I still have dreams about it. How excited I was to decorate it and make it my own. Even cleaning it was fun. It was all MINE.
Hi Martha - I have had some first timers who think they have to have the big house that they will retire in 30 years from now, and they have a hard time adjusting to the idea of a first home. Others understand that they are embarking on a new adventure that will be repeated as their famiy and income grow and they move to larger digs. Good post and good luck wiht your offer!
