First-Time Homebuyer Yoshiko Oest and Russell Nomura March 10, 2025
If you’re thinking about buying a home and wondering what a Virtual Homebuyer Consultation is all about, we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or ready to make a move, this is a great first step to help you feel informed, confident, and prepared. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a consultation with us:
We start by learning about you and the kind of home you’re looking for. This is your chance to share your vision and your must-haves, like:
The type of home you want—single-family, condo, townhome, etc.
Your preferred neighborhoods or locations, whether that’s near work, school, or somewhere new.
Must-have features like the number of bedrooms, a yard, or even proximity to parks or restaurants.
This conversation helps us understand your goals and priorities so we can guide you toward homes that fit your needs.
The home-buying process can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. That’s why we take time to walk you through each of the 10 key steps, from getting pre-approved to handing you the keys. You’ll know exactly what to expect, so there are no surprises along the way.
We love helping buyers feel prepared and confident. During your consultation, we’ll share personalized tips and helpful resources to make your home-buying journey smoother. This can include:
How to prepare your finances
What to expect when it comes to down payments and closing costs
Local programs and grants that could help you save money
What to focus on (and what to ignore!) when touring homes
If you feel like we’re a good fit, we’ll explain the simple process for officially hiring us as your Realtors and what happens next. We’ll also talk about what it’s like working with us—what we do, how we communicate, and how we advocate for you every step of the way.
We know that choosing the right Realtor is one of the most important decisions in your home-buying journey. While we would love to work with you, we also encourage you to meet with other Realtors if you’re not sure. It’s important to work with someone you feel comfortable with and confident in.
We’re here to simplify the process and help you feel empowered in your home search. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to dive in, a Virtual Homebuyer Consultation is the perfect first step.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to book a time to chat! We’d love to support you on your journey to homeownership.
