Step 1 – Before you start your home search
You should make a list of must-haves like a large backyard or eat-in-kitchen. Get an idea of what school districts and neighborhoods you'd like to live in. If you are not familiar with the area, call an expert real estate Buyer’s Agent. Lastly, create a budget. The most common rule of thumb is to limit your purchase to not more than 33% of your monthly income.

Step 2 – Talk to a Buyer’s real estate agent 
As a Buyer’s agent I have a duty to represent you and only you in the transaction.  I'd be happy to schedule a time to meet with you and communicate with you about why you want to buy a home and get an idea of your plans for the future. We'll discuss neighborhoods, schools in the El Paso area, the mortgage industry, and any additional economic factors that may affect your purchase.

I can also help you begin the loan process. There are some excellent mortgage professionals in El Paso. They can help you determine which type of loan is best for you, as well as help you get pre-qualified.
