Decide What You Can Afford
We’ll make sure you find a home you love within your budget. Too often we hear from homeowners who received poor advice and are stuck with a mortgage they can’t afford. At Nu Level, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and happy for the long-term.
Make a Wish List
Separate “Wants” and “Needs.” For example: How many bathrooms do you need? Is a big backyard a must-have? Do you need a garage?
Select Where You Want to Live
Make a list of three neighborhoods you’d like to live in. Think about convenience and access to things like transit and food. Remember, nearby schools affect property values.
Start Saving
The more money you have for down payment and closing costs, the better, but the usual 20 percent is not always necessary.

Do NOT run your credit until you are ready
Knowing your credit history is important, but too many inquiries can hurt your score. Contact one of our professionals and we’ll help you create a plan first.
Do NOT open new department store cards and credit accounts
Stay from major purchases. This could drop your credit score right before you buy a home.
Keep your older credit card accounts open
Closing them can negatively affect your credit.
Keep track of your bank account deposits
Checks are usually better than cash, and a record will make the process smoother later on. Talk to us before you make any big deposits.
Don't forget weather
Weather is not just a matter of comfort, it can affect maintenance on your house later on. Keep that in mind when you pick a neighborhood.

Quality matters
At Nu Level, we’ll pull out all the stops to create high quality materials to showcase your home. This includes using a professional photographer and stager to make everything look stunning.
Cutting-edge marketing
Many real estate agencies are still stuck in the past, even though 90% of buyers now search for their homes online. The days of sticking a sign on your lawn and only advertising in newspapers just won’t cut it. In addition to traditional marketing, we have in-house technology experts to leverage social media, online tech tools, and mobile applications to make sure your home is seen by as many buyers as possible.
Timing is everything
To maximize your home value, you have to understand the market trends. Whether you’re completely ready, or simply thinking about selling your home, contact Nu Level and we’ll let you know where the market is heading so you know when to sell.
Escrow Management
When people talk about headaches during the selling process, often they are referring to hiccups during the escrow period. Our agents oversee everything from beginning to end, making sure the buyer’s agent and title company are all on the same page. This is where experience and relationships matter, and this is where Nu Level shines. Our goal is to be comprehensive, and make things worry-free. Let us sweat the details.
