First Timer?

Are you thinking about buying your first home? If this is your first time looking into the Alaskan real-estate market, it can be a bit overwhelming. Knowing where to start and what needs more attention than other things - can be hard!

Alaska is a beautiful state and has many styles and sizes of homes available.  Knowing what you want is a great way to start. Keep these few tips in mind when hitting the market regardless of where you start:

• Start saving ASAP for your down payment.

• Get pre-qualified, that way you know what you can afford.

• Drive around different neighborhoods where you can see yourself living.

• Make a list of the top 3 things that are a must for your new home.

• How will you use your future home… to entertain? For your children or future children? Do you have pets?

• Know if you want a fixer-upper or something move in ready.

• Be open minded. You may not get your first choice, but your second one may be a perfect fit!
