FEAR: A stumbling block for many home buyers
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of commitment.
Fear of responsibility.
Fear of answering the unanswerable.
I have seen many would-be home buyers become paralyzed by the FEAR OF THE PROCESS.  Buying a home can and should be an exciting time but for many the process can seem overwhelming and mysterious.
One of the best ways to alleviate and overcome these inherent fears is to align yourself with experienced professionals that you can trust. 
The two professionals that you will have the most contact with during the process will be your real estate agent and your mortgage loan officer so it is important that you take your time during the selection process.  Make sure that you have a good rapport with them, make sure that you feel comfortable discussing private financial matters with them. 
Once you have chosen the professionals, it is important to remember that THEY ARE THERE TO HELP YOU!  They are on your team.  They are your advocates, your cheerleaders and they have a vested interest in your success.
They should answer any and all questions that you have about the home buying process and never make you feel silly.
