Prepare Your Finances

One of the first things you should consider is how much home you can afford. The Home Affordability Calculator from Realtor.com is a great tool that takes your annual income, monthly debt, and down payment into consideration.  It is also a good idea to check your credit score in advance.

Secure Your Loan

Now it’s time to secure the loan that’s right for you. HHHunt Homes works with some of the best lenders in Richmond, Williamsburg, Hampton Roads and Raleigh with a legacy of superior customer service and quality financial products. They share our goals and understand our buyers’ needs. This takes the stress out of the homebuying process. We recommend working with these lenders whenever possible for the best options on programs and overall experience. It is also good to consider getting pre-approval on your mortgage as it can help estimate your mortgage payment and save time down the road when you are ready to buy.
