Posted by Scott McElmurry on Fri, Oct 19, 2012 @ 08:57 AM

For those interested in first-time home buying, here are some quick, helpful hints to build your knowledge and confidence as you go through the home buying and loan application process. Early this week, I got the chance to sit down with KATV's Alyson Courtney in front of the camera and share the steps every first-time home buyer should follow:

  1. Educate yourself
  2. Get your finances in order
  3. Establish a budget 
  4. Start saving
  5. Get your documents ready
  6. Select a lender
  7. Get pre-qualified
  8. Select your home/Make an offer
  9. Complete your loan application
  10. Close on the house and mortgage 
We explain all of these steps in greater detail with some extra tips and statistics in our very first ebook you can download for free, "The Easy Keys to First-Time Home Buying." 
And if you are ready to start that mortgage application, contact a lender today.
