First Time Home Buyer- What To Know

Purchasing your first home can be intimidating. At Gattermeir Davidson, we want to assist you in finding the perfect home! Knowing that it's easier to get the financing for a home now more than ever, and you don't even have to have a perfect credit score, we are confident that we can help you get the property you've been waiting for. If you've never owned your own home and you're ready to take the leap and purchase your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks, here are a few things to keep in mind.


Evaluate Your Budget

Take time to sit down and really think about how much you can afford on a home. If you don't know, you can always find a mortgage lender who can help you with the numbers and tell you what your monthly payments would be. This can be a huge help, and it's really one of the most important steps in buying your home. Even before you look for a home, you need to know how much you can spend. Otherwise, you could fall in love with a place, and then find that you are WAY out of the budget. If you don't know of a mortgage lender, please, give us a call. We have several reputable companies that we work with on a regular basis and they can provide incredible service.

Find the Best Real Estate Agent

After the numbers have been crunched, it's time to find a real estate agent who will help you find a home that not only fits your budget but fits your lifestyle. At Gattermeir Davidson, we take pride in having the best real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our team has helped many an individual find the home of their dreams, and we continue to work with our clients even after the paperwork has been signed and you're settled in! Your happiness is our priority. We use our years of experience to help you navigate not just the house hunting, but all of the red tape that can come through buying a home. You'll appreciate having experience on your side should anything unexpected come up in the buying process!

Choose Your Location

Finally, your real estate agent will help you narrow down the best area for you. There are many areas around the Lake of the Ozarks, some in town, some outside of town. Others are by the Lake, while you can also find homes nestled in those beautiful Ozark hills. Do you need to be in a certain school district? Maybe a certain side of the Lake for your work commute? We can help you find a dream home, in your budget, and also in the right area.


Choose the Best Real Estate Company at the Lake of the Ozarks

From East to West, and North to South, we have the Lake area covered not only with great homes that we are selling but also with perfect homes for you to buy. If you're ready to be one of the thousands of couples who have made the choice to live at the Lake of the Ozarks, we're ready to help. Visit our website to see featured listings!

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and...
