First time homebuyers share their experiences.

Congrats to Ron and Jenn who closed on their first home last week. They were kind enough to share their experiences with other newlyweds who are starting out their home search.
Ron and Jenn
Married May 2008, Cohasset MA
First Home Purchased October 2008, Stoughton, MA
How long did you search for your new home?
About 3 months.
What was the hardest part of your search/process?
Spending a day or weekend looking at multiple houses and walking away unsatisfied.
What was the best part of your search/process?
We learned something new every time we went out to see houses. It was also very helpful having such a friendly, patient, and informative buyer's agent with us.
What do you love about your new home?
Absolutely everything, especially the open floor plan, the fireplaces (because my wife gets cold), and the 2 decks.
Please give some advice for any other newlyweds looking to buy their first home together.
Call Jaime and make an appointment. Take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for. Be patient with one another because it can sometimes be stressful. You may have to see lots of houses before you find the right one, but be patient, because it will be worth it. Make sure that both of you discuss at length what each of you want out of your potential home so that it will make the search easier.
Anything else you would like to share.
In all seriousness, Jaime was absolutely amazing to work with and we now have a new friend. What could have been an extremely stressful experience became a fun learning process that ended with our perfect first home. We will miss our Wed. evenings house hunting with our adorable prego agent. We would also like to add that since you will be spending a lot of time with your buyers agent during this potentially long and stressful process, make sure that he/she is a good fit for you. It made all the difference for us.
Thank you so much Ron and Jenn. I had a blast working with you guys as well. Good luck in your new home!
