Buyer's Guide

Buying a new home is truly an exhilarating time. For a first-timer the questions can be endless, and rightly so.

What should you be looking for?

How should you go about making an offer?

How should you finance your new home?

What about its protection?

Buying A Home
Find answers by exploring this section and consider it your own home buyer’s guide, full of great home buying tips, advice and explanations about the whats, whens and whys involved in the process.

Buying Basics
Owning your own home is the American Dream. Whether you are single and looking for your first home, newly married and upgrading from your bachelor pad, or accommodating a growing family and searching for a bigger home, that dream is more alive today than ever before.

Experience has taught us that buying a new home involves common stages for all consumers. Prospective buyers must shop for the best house and the best financing they can find. To help you understand this process, we have prepared a Home Buyer’s Guide to provide an overview from the planning table to the settlement table.

Of course, this short guide cannot answer all your questions. For specific answers, we encourage you to consult a Long & Foster sales associate. After all, helping you fulfill your home ownership dream is our business.
