Wow, you should get an award for this post. Awesomely put together and very well thought out. Great work. You should have put this in one of Byrant contest blogs.

Good luck and I hope this helps with your business.

O great blog.

Flagged and rated a 5! This should be a feature and thanks for the mention of the First Time Homebuyer Group!

Wow Susan, thanks for the compliment.  I know my clients will really benefit from this "Toolkit".

Tracy:  Wow!!!  This is such a well thought out post chocked full of information that every home buyer can find useful as well as those of us who are passionate about our home buyers.  Great job Tracy!  I hope you don't mind, but I've bookmarked it so I can refer to it again and again.

Hi Kris,

Thanks for the Kudos!! I'm hoping that I can add to this, make it even better, and then use it as an online resource for my clients.

Tracy:   That's an excellent idea! 

Tracy, this is outstanding!  I will definitely be reading all of the posts and adding some great notes to my AR notebook.  You did an excellent job and you deserve a 5!

I don't know how many times I have sat down to make a home buyers' guide.  I've completed the outline, writtten some paragraphs and then got busy with business!  Agency is the only topic I truly fleshed out and it constantly needs revision as I clarify and find better ways to explain this topic.  I've got the flowchart done and some checklists, but still far from completion.

Donna- Thanks for the Kudos!!

Bonnie - You are such a talented writer! The flow chart sounds fantastic!!! Clients love pictures/visuals!!

We were certainly in good hands with Tracy being first time home buyers.  The process went so smoothly and we felt like the decisions we had to make were educated and intelligent due to Tracy's expertise!  Thank you, Tracy! 

Awwh!! Thanks for your comment Julia and Jonathan.  Feel free to reference other experts in the network.  They have a lot to offer. I'm really excited that I've had the opportunity to work with you.

I have alot of 1rst time homebuyer customers in Burlington.  I would like to give them a copy of your blog.  This is very helpful.

Sure Kate,

I hope your clients find it beneficial.  I know my clients do!!

Great post and I rated it 5.  I like the way you put the information out there and it is something that I will reference with my first timers.  I believe it will help anyone that reads it.  Thank you . Bookmarked.

Tracy....   I agree with Ken Stampe that this should have been featured. Even the good ones fall through the cracks. It's good to still see you around here because I remember first e-mailing you the end of last year, I think.

In any case, thank you very much for the mention and great post.

Tracy,

This is Great!  I read an article this weekend about Lulu, where you can publish your material in a book form.....then order 1, 2 or as many as you need.  In other words you should  publish this!

Good Consolidation of resources  for  putting things together.  Definitely worth taking notes on this one.

This post has turned out to be a great asset for the 1st time homebuyers I've worked with as well as other agents that have called me about their clients.  I'm glad that I can provide a valueable resource for all :)

This is a great post. I like to work with first time buyers and give them a Buyer's Hand Book. I like the idea of online tool kit.Thanks for the tip.

First Time Home Buyers are the bread and butter of real estate now.  The online toolkit is a great idea.

Thanks for the kudos.  My clients have really enjoyed the benefit of this online resource and I use it over and over again!  It's just about time I write an update w/more details...
