Generally, what are the steps in buying a home?
First, plan ahead. Check credit agencies and make sure your credit rating is strong. Then start thinking about where you want to live, what type home you need how large it needs to be. For example, do you like condo living or would you prefer an elegant home on a golf course? Are schools a consideration? Do you want to be close to your work?

If that sounds like a lot of details, don t worry! Stacy s an expert in the process, and she will make it almost stress free.
