Hey! It’s awesome you’re thinking about buying your first place in Oldham County. The FHA loan is a smart move for first-timers because of the low down payment (just 3.5%). But let’s be real, the process can feel like a maze, and that’s why finding the right realtor is absolutely key.
The best agent for you isn’t just someone who opens doors; it’s a teacher and a guide. You need someone who deeply understands FHA guidelines, especially the rules about a home’s condition. FHA appraisals are strict, so your agent must spot potential issues—like a leaky roof or peeling paint—before you even make an offer. A big mistake first-time buyers make is picking a home that won’t pass the appraisal, costing them time and money. Look for an agent with trusted lender connections who can smooth out the bumps.
That’s where Ashley Fancy Ray really stands out for buyers in Crestwood, La Grange, and Goshen. Ashley is known as an agent who treats every client like family, focusing on education and stress-free closings. Because FHA loans require extra detail, Ashley’s local expertise is a huge advantage.

Ashley’s strong local relationships with inspectors and lenders mean she can keep your timeline on track.
