Your Brockton Buyer Roadmap

The 5 steps most Brockton first-time buyers skip (and later regret):

 

STEP 1 - Figure out what you can really afford. Lenders qualify you up to ~3x income, but target under 28% of gross monthly for housing. Get pre-approved before you shop.

 

STEP 2 - Stack down-payment help. MA MassHousing offers up to $25K down-payment assistance for first-time buyers. RI Housing: up to $17.5K. FHA: 3.5% down. Conventional: 3-20%.

 

STEP 3 - Get your documents ready. 2 years tax returns, 2 pay stubs, 2 months of bank statements, and ID. Pre-pulling these speeds pre-approval by weeks.

 

STEP 4 - Pick the right agent. I flag red flags before you tour, help you avoid overpaying, and negotiate inspection credits plus closing cost contributions.

 

STEP 5 - Offer, inspect, close. 30-45 days from accepted offer to keys. I walk you through inspection, appraisal, title, and closing.
