First-time Homebuyers...the Icing on the Cake

By
Real Estate Agent with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.

Helping a first-time homebuyer is like watching your child graduate from school or win the Olympics.  My father-in-law was a successful Real Estate Broker who introduced me to the idea of becoming an agent.  When I first approached him and told him I wanted to get into real estate, he told me that I needed to remember two things about real estate:  first, a good real estate agent drives a different way home every day and second, location, location, location.  What he should have told me was: first, think long and hard about this and second, only work with first-time homebuyers!

First-time Ice Creamhomebuyers are the icing on the cake and the cherry on top of an ice cream cone.  They bring you a true sense of accomplishment in a world that is more like a bumpy roller coaster ride.  How?  This group will actually let you help them.  Yes they will ask you a million questions and will want immediate answers.  They will look to you for good and reliable advice and guidance through the transaction yet they will still have to check with a friend and "Google" it just to "double check".  However, they will allow you to practice real estate the way you intended when you got into the business.  The truly let you help them and by doing so, you are rewarded for all of your hard work.  All in all, this group of buyers gives us a sense of satisfaction that can be equated with watching our children take their first steps or graduate from high school.  That is enough to make me love my job and working with first-time homebuyers.
