First Time Home Buyer - Atlanta, GA, Georgia

Are you a first time home buyer in the Greater Atlanta Georgia (GA) area? If so, you need to know as much as possible about a real estate transaction. As a first time home buyer, here are some questions to ponder: 

1. Am I going to buy a new home or an existing home?
2. How do I get a good deal and extra incentives for a new home or an existing home?
3. Are there 100% loan programs still available?
4. Who pays my closing costs?
5. In addition to the mortgage payment, what other fees do I need to pay?
6. What are the advantages of buying a home verses (vs) renting a home?
7. What is a seller’s agent?
8. What is a buyer’s agent ? Who pays my buyer’s agent?
9. Who is really looking out for me in the transaction?
10. What about identifying defective construction materials ?

These are all important questions, among other things, that a first time home buyer should ask.

To get a good deal, you first have to know what that entails; as a first time home buyer, you have to know every detail of the transaction to ensure that you are indeed getting a good deal. There will be so many different numbers and scenarios thrown at you during the process; you have to know what you are looking at to decipher the nuances of the transaction. A good buyer’s agent in the Atlanta, Georgia area will know these important details and will explain them carefully to the first time home buyer. To help offset some of these home-buying costs, my buyer rebate at closing can come in handy, too. It is generally worth thousands of dollars; it is in addition to, and separate from, other incentives, including the $8,000 tax rebate credit from the Government.
