Buying a home is the largest purchase most people will ever make.  The more prepared you are at the outset, the less overwhelming and chaotic the buying process will be.  What would you do if your financing fell through the day before closing, your home inspection found a termite infestation, or your future neighbors had just built a wall on your property?  As a buyer, you want someone who knows the market and who has experience handling the particular needs of home buyers, whether it’s identifying homes and neighborhoods, negotiating for the best deal, or coordinating the 20+ steps between contract acceptance and closing

Homeownership has excellent benefits. 

Tax Savings
You may earn significant tax savings because you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from your federal income tax and many states' income tax if you itemize your deductions

A choice of Flexible or Fixed Monthly Housing Cost
Your monthly housing loan or mortgage expense can remain the same for the life of your mortgage or adjust with the market, depending on the type of loan product you choose.

Equity
You may build equity in your home over the life of your loan, which allows you to plan for future goals like your child's education or your retirement. These are just a few of the benefits of homeownership.
