Buying a Grand Rapids home? Search all homes for sale

Being a first-time homebuyer is very exciting, but there are a few things you should know and questions you should answer before starting the process. Before starting the process of buying your first home, you need to:

Financing is an important part of the puzzle.

• Know what financing is best for you. If you can qualify for certain programs through the state of Michigan, you may be able to get a $7,500 grant. There are also financing programs from the USDA and VA that don’t require any down payment.
• Know what you are looking for. What area do you want to live in? How many bedrooms/bathrooms do you want? What amenities do you need? Answering these questions will allow us to set up a profile for you on our home search website, which will only send you the listings that match your criteria.

Once you’ve found your dream home, we can go through it, take a look at everything, and advise you on where you should make an offer in the current market. It’s that simple!
