Home purchasing is a significant milestone and an exciting time for any individual.

However, home-buying can be overwhelming and stressful, especially when you're a first-time homebuyer.

1. Scheduling your final walk-through: As your real estate agent, I will schedule the walk-through at least a week or two before closing so you have time to address any issues.
