Money ranks at the top of most homebuyers’ list of concerns, especially with many families having already booked upcoming summer vacations. These concerns are not surprising. With the rising costs of cars, gas, and food, more necessities compete for the hard-earned dollars people would otherwise save for a down payment. Suddenly, being ready to buy a home seems out of reach.
RIGHT MARKET
Many people wonder if the time is right to buy as they read economic forecasts and worry about mortgage rates. Now is still a great time to find the perfect home and close on it easily with a real estate professional helping you.
Thirty-two percent of buyers who purchased a home in 2021 were first-time homebuyers. During that time, buyers spent an average of nine weeks looking for their new home. Hiring a real estate professional can definitely help those who are new to the homeownership experience (and even those who aren’t) narrow their search and know that they are in good hands as they move forward with their purchase.
RIGHT PEOPLE
Getting approved for a mortgage loan is the beginning. Our mortgage partner, Cardinal Financial®, has a team of professionals ready to work for you alongside our prepared and knowledgeable agents who come equipped with the right solutions and resources.

RIGHT OPTIONS
Advantageous programs like InstantMove® and Guaranteed Move® can help self-employed or credit-challenged buyers obtain financing*. CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company can walk you through the financing process and work with you to find tools for whatever home buying needs you might have – let’s talk together about getting your home buying process started.
RIGHT OPPORTUNITY
After all, everyone deserves a home of their own. April is Fair Housing Month, and considering this, we want to acknowledge that discrimination in the real estate industry should never happen. Our commitment as community leaders in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex is to be part of the solution, providing equal service to all. Our goal at CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company is to help communities become thriving and inclusive. We find and create solutions to help you buy a home through our turn-key home-related services and advantages.
RIGHT INVESTMENT
Homeownership can be quite profitable, as homes don’t often lose value. As a matter of fact, the median sales price for a home in the U.S. has increased by 416% since 1980. That’s a huge gain on investment! Investing in real estate builds income and has been many investors’ path to wealth. We provide educational resources on how you can get started by taking part in CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Property Management’s “Building Wealth Through Real Estate Investments” virtual seminar on May 5, 1 pm – 4 pm, which you can register for here.
RIGHT START
To begin the process of buying a home, evaluate your financial situation. Find out how much you can afford. Hire the right REALTOR® to be by your side through the entire process, from financing to close and into the future with a relationship for life; one that covers all of your home-related needs with our vendor network and moving concierge service.
You can see how being in the right market with the right people who have the right options available can give you the ability to make the right investment and start on the right foot. It all comes down to beginning, and with these opportunities awaiting, what better time to get started? With CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company celebrating 85 years in real estate this year, the words of our founder, Judge B. Fite, still hold true. “Begin. The rest is easy.”
