First-Time Buyer FAQs

  • It is recommended to speak to an experienced, local loan officer to get pre-approved before actively starting your home search. Your Realtor should be able to refer you to trusted mortgage professionals.

  • That’s OK and very common with first-time buyers. One of the many benefits of working with an experienced and trustworthy buyer’s agent is to leverage their market and process knowledge to help you narrow down your home search and main critiera.

  • I’ve helped many clients buy their first homes across NJ markets and property types - from city condos and multi-family properties to townhouses and single-family homes in the suburbs. I make it my priority to understand my client’s needs and wants and to guide them in the right direction and to help them every step of the way, from the initial consultation to offer to closing. I consider myself their trusted adviser and not just their Realtor.

  • “Professional, communicative and very helpful. As a first time buyer, the experience can be super overwhelming and time consuming. Max seamlessly helped me navigate through end-end without a blip. Also, worth noting he's transparent and very knowledgeable about the market to help ensure you're confident every step of the way. Thanks again!”

  • “It was our absolute pleasure and incredibly fortunate luck learning and working with Max, not only as our realtor but also as a person! We were in a tough spot - looking for a ready-to-move-in home in a competitive market while living in a different state. We had to drive over weekends to see potential properties to rent or buy, which would often get sold during the week. Max was highly recommended to us by our friends in NJ. From day 1, Max exhibited this natural energy, genuine enthusiasm, and passion for his work. In every way, Max went above and beyond to guide us in his best capacity and make our first home search in NJ as comfortable as possible.” (full review on Google Business)
