Tech.Co recently published A Helpful Tech Guide for First-Time Homebuyers, and we LOVED it. However, we had some local additions to their tips.

  1. Install Apps to Quickly Compare Housing Costs

Yes. You can't haul your computer or tons of papers around with you from showing to showing. What happens when you go to dinner and you forget those papers? Mobile apps solve all you problems. Well guess what? MobileRuhl is here for you. MobileRuhl lets you search in specific areas, compares prices, calculates mortgages, and lets you contact a realtor immediately when you're ready to see a home.

  1. Research Neighborhood Information Before Your Offer

It's important to know what's going on in your neighborhood with crime and utilities, but also important to know is the activity of homes in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Even if you're not ready to buy right now, your Ruhl&Ruhl Realtor can help you see reports of what homes in your area are going for when they are bought and sold. When you are ready to buy, your Ruhl&Ruhl Realtor will set up a report to find the specific home you want, in the neighborhood you want. 

  1. Set Google Calendar Notifications for Financial Deadlines

We know the home-buying process is confusing. That's why we include experts in the field at every Ruhl&Ruhl office. You'll even see a Ruhl Mortgage certified lender at every office, who will be willing to work around your specific needs. So if you want to set Google Calendar reminders, they will help you!

  1. Invest in Up-to-Date Security

At Ruhl&Ruhl, we want to ensure you are taken care of for life. That's why we keep a long list of approved vendors to help you with any problem that may arise in your new home. Security Systems vendors are just one of the many recommendations we can provide you with. All these things, plus an updated website where you can find endless information for all your home buying and selling needs.
