As a First Time Buyer, there are many things that you need to consider. As we've outlined in the Buyer Tab on this website, there are 5 Steps to making your purchase, whether you are a First Time Buyer or have lots of experience. In other words, the process is the same, the difference is in the experience and the comfort level.
