Attention First-Time Buyers
As a first-time buyer, there’s a lot to take in. How much can you borrow? What should you watch out for when buying a home? And how does getting a mortgage actually work? Since you often have less financial flexibility, it’s extra important to avoid surprises. I’ll help you take your first steps with confidence — and at a competitive rate.
Buy Your First Home with Extra Confidence
As a first-time buyer, you likely haven’t built up much equity yet. That makes it all the more important to approach the process carefully and well-prepared. Did you know that you can only finance the appraised value of a home? Anything you offer above that amount must be paid from your own savings. In today’s market — especially in and around Utrecht — it’s common to bid above the appraised value. That’s why it’s crucial to know what a property is really worth before you make an offer.
That’s why Ralf Hypotheken offers a unique service: before you place a bid, we can have the purchase price reviewed by an experienced NVM real estate agent. This way, you’ll know exactly where you stand and avoid overpaying or facing unexpected costs. If you don’t have a lot of savings to fall back on, that peace of mind is priceless.
The housing market is challenging — especially for first-time buyers. But with the right preparation, honest advice, and a trusted partner by your side, your chances of success increase significantly.
