Most first-time buyers can qualify for a mortgage loan, but they may need help from parents to make the down payment or closing costs on their home. There are loan programs that minimize the down payment and closing costs for first-time buyers. These programs usually require that 3 to 5 percent of the purchase price come from the buyers' funds, not from a loan or gift. Most lenders ask for the last three months' bank records. The borrower will be asked to reveal the origin of any large deposits. If the money comes from the homebuyer's parents, the lender may not consider those funds when qualifying the buyers.

Parents who are planning to help their children finance a home should transfer any funds several months before the house-hunting process begins. If it is a loan rather than a gift, a formal re-payment agreement should be drawn up between parents and children to eliminate potential misunderstandings or future complications with either estate.

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2004 and I have spent the past 6 years dedicated to the realms of real estate, specializing in regular and military relocation. My husband currently works for the army as a firefighter, but was previously enlisted, resulting in my experience in relocation. I feel that I have been directly led to this chapter of real estate due to my experiences and skill set. Being involved in relocations personally has given me a thorough understanding of the process as well as allowed me to really connect with the emotions and concerns clients may be experiencing. I've been there. I can easily step into a clients' shoes to really relate with their needs having been the client so many times in the past. Moving is hard, especially when you have a family to uproot. Working with a relocation specialist that has a vast knowledge with the areas they cover is very important. That's why I make sure to be prepared for any questions my clients may have. I am trilingual in English, German and Turkish, allowing me to work with a wider range of clients and I love it. Being able to experience different cultures and values held by clients is a definite perk for me. Knowing that I am able to have a positive impact on someone's moving experience actually means a lot to me, because I've been there. I've experience those ups and downs, those potential worries that sometimes appear. Moving can be stressful, because aside from the packing and organizing, you're leaving what's familiar to you. As a relocation specialist, I will come to the table with full confidence and knowledge to enable me to provide assistance. I strive to be the best that I can be and to leave my clients happy and comfortable. Let me show you what a relocation done right is like. Moving can be overwhelming to begin with; I want to make the difference.
