I am looking at single family homes in the Bridgewater area between $270,000-300,000. I know that there is not much in that range, but a search of
GSMLS yields five or six decent ranches/cape cods. My fiancee and I are looking for someone who is willing to work with us as first time buyers who want a decent home in a decent area but can't afford a half million dollar home. We want a good solid starter home that we can put sweat equity into for an eventual (8-10 years from now) return on our investment. We're looking for someone who will not balk at the fact that we only will be able to put down about 5%, we will be using Freddie Mac, and that though we know Bridgewater is an expensive area that we're only interested in what we can afford.
Forgive me if this seems a bit rude, but I'm speaking in light of the experience we had with another realtor in another area. She continually steered us toward homes we could not afford, constantly nitpicked our decision to go through FHA/Freddie Mac and tried to get us to use her in-house mortgage people, and only did what we asked (obtain plot plans, seller's disclosures, past utility bills, etc...) when badgered repeatedly-if we could get her on the phone at all. We eventually lost out on the house in that area anyway and just decided to cut ties with her altogether. So please, if there's anyone out there willing to help a young couple find their first home despite the fact that they're not going to make a million dollar commission, please PM me.
