Many potential first-time home buyers ("Property Virgins") are overwhelmed by the thought of homeownership believe it's an impossible dream - especially given today's rough-and-tumble real estate market.

This page will help you gain some knowledge about the home buying process and will hopefully give you the courage to keep that dream alive. The first bit of advice I will give you is to hire a buyer's agent (me or another Realtor) who will look out for your best interests and make sure you are not making mistakes than can cost you several thousands of dollars. This is the biggest financial decision you will ever make, so it's essential that you work with a professional, trustworthy realtor who's there for you every step of the way. Our website sponsor (Anthony Rael - Metro Brokers) is a 43-year old Denver native and sixth-generation Coloradan, so rest assured, he's not going anywhere!

Anthony Rael is here to make sure:

1. you fully understand what it takes to purchase a home
2. you work with a reputable mortgage lender who won't take advantage of you
3. you are utilizing every available first-time buyer resource you're entitled to
4. you write an purchase offer that protects you before & after the sale
5. that all of your questions are answered in a timely, professional manner
6. you don't get overwhelmed with the process!

Most buyers do not realize that the seller pays the sales commission to the agent who brings a buyer for their home?  That's right, it doesn't cost you anything to be represented by a Buyer's Agent who is advocating and negotiating on YOUR BEHALF!  Being familiar with the different ways a real estate agent can represent you, plus all the different financing options and programs available to assist you and knowing the ins and outs of where to find a good deal which can save you thousands of dollars!*  

There is no reason why you shouldn't have a Realtor on your side when buying your first home in the Denver metro area.  In fact, he's even put together a very special First-Year Anniversary promotional offer
