First-Time Home Buyers

Knowing the right time to purchase your first home is the key to feeling great about the process.

We are proud to have established relationships with the area’s most respected lenders. These are folks who will help you understand your buying power in a no-pressure consultation. They’ll get you up to speed on the various programs that exist to help you make the most of your home-buying dollar. Once you understand your position, we’ll get to work finding your perfect home.

On the other hand, if, after talking with a mortgage professional, you find that you’re not quite ready to move forward, we’ll stay in touch as often as you like to keep you up to date on the local market, so you can make an informed decision when you’re ready.

We want to be your agency when you’re ready, whenever that it is.

Serious Local Area Knowledge

As Maine changes, so does the flavor of some of our local towns. Areas that were once overlooked by the majority of buyers are suddenly highly sought after and offer outstanding value for first-time buyers.

Working with a broker who is deeply invested in knowing the details of our local communities is an incredibly powerful tool. At Cottage & Co, we pride ourselves on knowing what’s going on, and where it’s happening. We look for the small changes in local communities and take note of what that might mean for our buyers and sellers. That means that you won’t need to guess about a neighborhood when we find a house you’re interested in there.

Advice Based On Experience

Working with first time buyers is a source of real joy. There is nothing quite like helping someone purchase their first home, and our agents have done it hundreds of times. We can advise on what to look for, and what to look out for, what to seek, and what to avoid. And once you’ve secured that home, we have a long list of professionals, from insurance agents to chimney sweeps, from home inspectors to auto mechanics, who can make life in your new home the wonderful experience it should be.
