Buying a Home

Get your financing in place.
Meet with a mortgage banker before you start looking for a new home. Pre-approval is best. Pre-qualified is fine. When a mortgage approval letter is presented with your offer, it removes doubt in the sellers mind about your ability to buy his home. It puts you in a better negotiating position and the sellers will know that you are ready, willing and ABLE to buy their home. We can recommend a mortgage banker if you don't already have one.

Prioritize your housing requirements.
What's most important? What could you live without if you found everything else you wanted in a home? What features in a home are negotiable and which ones aren't. Remember if you can't find what you want within your budget then you'll probably have to change what you want.

Select a Realtor®.
Call us to help you find a home. We can do it better and faster than driving around neighborhoods and surfing the web. You may find THE house on your own but you still need to look at it, evaluate it's value, negotiate it's purchase, have it inspected and get to a closing. Eventually, you will need the services of a Realtor®. This is what we do for a living. Why not let us help you now?

Moving to the area?
We can assist you from a distance. Just contact us for a relocation package and we can start the process. Here's what some of our out of town clients had to say:

Our family would like to thank you all for a great "first-time-home-buying" experience. After we tried two other realtors, you were willing to look harder and help us find a great home. We appreciated your patience, and all of the advice and education we received in the process. You will certainly be highly recommended to anyone we come across who may be looking for a realtor. Your website says you are "Albuquerque¹s Best Sellers", and you are also great "Buyers"!

P.S. Your website, ABQHomes.com, is what brought us to you ­ I have not seen a more helpful, user-friendly real estate site anywhere!

Trying to find a house in Albuquerque while living in Anchorage, Alaska could have been difficult. Thanks to Fred and Sandra Creek's expertise, it was a positive experience. We received faxes of new listings, followed by photographs that appealed to us. Upon arriving in Albuquerque, we immediately went to the homes we had pre-selected based on the descriptions and photos. Their attention to details and planning saved us time and more importantly, money!

Many thanks for a job well done. Discovering and listening to our needs was the key to your successful performance. Your diligence in providing qualified product made our relocation trips efficient and productive, and helped us to secure the perfect home under a tight deadline. In addition, we could not have made the relocation from Florida as smoothly without your team ensuring those critical inspections and closing needs were met. We appreciate the professional, yet personal manner in which our entire transaction was handled. We look forward to working with you again and would recommend your services to anyone.
