Buying your first home in Los Angeles can feel intimidating, especially with the competition and rising prices. But with the right approach, you can win your dream home! Here are my top tips for first-time buyers in SoCal:

1. Get Your Finances Ready Check your credit score, save for a down payment, and get pre-approved before house hunting.
2. Know the Market Understand that bidding wars are common in LA. Be prepared to act fast but also set limits.
3. Prioritize Your Needs List your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. In a competitive market, flexibility can be key.
4. Use a Local Expert Work with an experienced agent who knows LA neighborhoods, school districts, and market trends.
