Take a Marksman-like Approach to Finding a Home

“Why do people say it is so difficult to buy a house?”, Specialist Anthony Ochoa & wife Savannah asked me.

Anthony just returned home from a tour of duty in Iraq. It was time for them to settle down and start life back in Utah. They couldn’t understand why their friends were having terrible times finding homes and getting offers accepted. It is an honest question.

The Ochoa’s experience was so smooth so why weren’t others experiencing the same thing?

The reason their experience was great is that the Ochoa’s did everything right from the beginning. They were pre-qualified for a loan with a reputable local lender. They met with me their Realtor for a first-time buyer consultation. Together we discussed their needs, what they envisioned for themselves and how they would use the space in their new home. We didn’t just jump in the car and start looking at homes.

We took a marksman-like approach and set our aim. By the time we were done both Anthony & Savannah had their sights clearly on the same target. I was able to pre-screen properties for them and take them to only the ones that met their criteria. Just like that, we were writing an offer on an adorable townhome!

It was perfect for them. We got their VA offer accepted even with the buyer’s closing costs being paid by the seller!

Yes, you heard right. One offer to acceptance in a competitive market! The Ochoa’s applied for a grant and got that too! Today was the closing day! I couldn’t be happier to have helped them get into their first home! Congratulations to a wonderful couple!
