Austin Apartments
Rental Homes, Condos, Townhomes
Casual, cosmopolitan, eclectic, five-star, techie, hippie, historic, chic, intellectual, fashionable, artistic, and weird… The adjectives used to describe Downtown Austin are as numerous and diverse as the people who live, work and visit here. Within a mile of the historic intersection of 6th and Congress Avenue — where Angelina Eberly fired a cannon to save the state archives and instead saved the Capitol — you'll find a treasure of arts, culture and interesting things to do.

Finding an Agent
First-time buyers often call the listing agent for condos that interest them, but this may not be the best way to protect your interests throughout the purchase process. When a potential buyer works with a listing agent to purchase a condo that is listed by that particular agent, the result is double agency. Double agency simply means that the buyer and seller have the same agent, who represents both parties and therefore cannot release information that could harm either party.
To find an agent, consider the area in which you want to buy. A local agent will be familiar with the area and can recommend specific neighborhoods for people with your particular lifestyle. You can also request recommendations from friends and family members. Before signing a contract with an agent, ask about the commission rate, although this cost is generally covered by the seller’s portion of the closing expenses.
Make sure that your agent understands what you are looking for and how much you are prepared to spend on your condo. As a first-time buyer, you need to work with an agent who is familiar with programs and lenders who specialize in working with first-time buyers.
First-Time Homebuyer Programs
Many programs are designed specifically to assist first-time homebuyers with benefits like down-payment assistance and no closing costs. Others offer first-time buyers competitive interest rates designed to make borrowing easier. First-time homebuyer assistance programs almost always apply to anyone who has not purchased a home within the past three years. Therefore, even if you are not a true first-time buyer but you have not bought a home in the past three years, you may qualify for these programs.
