"WE FELT SINCERELY CARED ABOUT"

We were first- time home buyers (relocating to a new state, no less!) and were a little overwhelmed. We called a real estate agent on a recommendation, and although it was a first experience for me, something felt a little off and we decided to keep looking. It was then that we found Hamstead Realty (through another recommendation from a friend) and I am so glad we did! Brenda was everything we had been looking for-- she was incredibly patient and helpful, answering all of our questions thoroughly and happily. She took the time to help us understand a new process, offering opinions when asked, but never pushing or pressuring us. It felt as though she sincerely cared about us and wanted us to find the right house as much as we did. Her knowledge and support helped us to find a home that we absolutely love, in a neighborhood that is perfect for our growing family. We were thrilled with the experience and if the opportunity ever arises, we will definitely be calling Hamstead Realty again!

THE LENDING PROCESS

HOW ABOUT THE FINANCES?

Learn about the different types of mortgages that are available and the sources for mortgage loans. Be aware of potential pitfalls and mistakes you may encounter during the process. Mainly, stay in close contact with your lender.

WANTS VS. NEEDS

HOW ABOUT THE FINANCES?
