Specialties
1. First-Time Home Buyers
First-time home buyers are individuals or families purchasing their first property. They often need guidance navigating the real estate market, securing financing, and understanding homeownership responsibilities.

- Affordability: Budgeting for mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
- Education: Understanding the buying process, from making an offer to closing.
- Pre-approval: Getting pre-approved for a loan to know their purchasing power.
2. Second Homes
A second home is typically purchased for personal use, such as a vacation property or a seasonal residence. Buyers might also purchase for eventual retirement or part-time living.
- Key Considerations:
- Purpose: Will it be for vacations, investment, or future retirement?
