Home Purchasing

The first step in purchasing a home is getting prequalified. This process is easy and quick. After getting some information from you, we will promptly notify you (and your realtor, if requested) in writing for what price house you prequalify. Your mind is at ease as you look for your dream home.


SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR NEW HOME

* Change the locks on all your exterior doors. Unless your home is new construction, you never know how many strangers may have a key to your front door.

* Replace the batteries in all smoke detectors in the house. Record the date so you will remember to do this every 6 months.

* Unless your heating/air units are new, have the vents and filters cleaned or replaced.

* Create a fire-hazard plan with your family and conduct a practice drill with the children.

* Replace or clean the exhaust hood filter above the range.

* Check all your electrical outlets for loose-fitting plugs, as these pose a fire hazard. These outlets are inexpensive and fairly easy to replace.

* Have the fireplace chimney cleaned. While you are at it, go ahead and install a rain cap and a screen to keep the birds out of your chimney.
