Home Buyer’s Guide: Easy Steps for Buyers

1. Get Finances Ready
   Buyers should begin by saving for a down payment (usually at least 5% of the home price). Meeting with a mortgage broker like Martine Perron helps clients understand what they can afford. Martine makes the process simple by explaining every step and helping to find the best rate.

2. Picture the Perfect Home
   Buyers are encouraged to think about their needs and wants—such as nearby schools, number of bedrooms, or special features. A “needs vs. wants” list will help them stay focused.

3. Choose the Right Agent
   It is important to work with a real estate professional who listens, understands the market, and puts buyer needs first. The Hammer Group Realtors excels at finding the best options that match buyers’ goals and budget, offering honest advice and attentive service every step of the way.

4. Start the Search
   By using online search tools or sharing criteria with an agent, buyers receive customized home matches and updates. Mark Hammer arranges showings and keeps house hunters updated about new listings, ensuring no dream home is missed.

5. Closing the Deal
   After finding the right home and negotiating the offer, buyers finalize their mortgage with help from Martine, and then sign with a legal professional. The Hammer Group Realtors supports buyers throughout these steps, making the transition smooth.
