Buying your very first home is one of life’s most exciting milestones. But in Orange, CT—a town known for its tight-knit neighborhoods, sought-after schools, and limited inventory—it can also feel overwhelming. Many first-time buyers come to me feeling unsure where to start. That’s exactly why I’ve dedicated a large part of my business to guiding first-time homeowners through the process, step by step.
What sets me apart as a Realtor for first-time buyers is my commitment to education and clarity. I don’t just open doors to homes; I walk you through the entire journey. From getting pre-approved with trusted local lenders, to understanding inspection reports, to making your first offer—I make sure you understand every decision before you make it.
I also know that buying your first home is emotional. There’s excitement, but also nerves about finances, long-term value, and whether you’re making the right move. My job is to take away the guesswork and give you confidence. That’s why I offer buyer consultations, neighborhood tours, and one-on-one planning sessions where we outline your must-haves and your budget before we even start seeing homes.
In today’s market, speed matters. I provide my buyers with instant access to new listings, and I use my local connections to get early insights on homes before they hit the market. When it’s time to make an offer, I negotiate aggressively on your behalf so you don’t overpay.Builders are inclined to sell their inventory and are often more flexible with pricing than individual home sellers. To attract buyers, they frequently offer incentives such as mortgage rate buy-downs, price cuts, and covering closing costs.
“As first-time buyers, we had a million questions. Justin never once made us feel silly for asking. He explained everything, fought hard for us in negotiations, and we ended up in a home we love at a price we could afford.”
