Are you ready to buy?
The buying process explained…
Find a lender you love. Make sure you feel comfortable asking them lots of questions. Decide on a price range you feel comfortable with. We have amazing lender recommendations if you haven’t already found one you love.
We’ll meet and decide if we all fit as a team. We will talk about our real estate style, and you’ll discuss your expectations and what type of house you’re looking for, ideal number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the style of home you like and what part of town you’d like to live in.
Do we all fit together as a cohesive team? Yes. You’ll sign a Buyer Representation Agreement which outlines our professional service fees and our agreement to work together.
Time to start shopping. We’ll sign you up to receive listings via email and then we’ll hit the road and shop for your new home.
You find “the one.”
We design the perfect offer for the particular home you’ve chosen. Every home is different, which makes every offer different. Did your get accepted? Yes…
Earnest money is due within 3 business days. Earnest money is a good faith deposit that’s usually 1-2% of the total price of the home. This money is deducted from your downpayment.
Time for inspections. We look at everything that’s going on with the home. We’ll do a home inspection, a sewer inspection, an oil tank search, and a radon inspection. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process.
No home is perfect. We’ll figure out what you want fixed, gather estimates for repairs, and negotiate with the seller. All parties come to an agreement and move forward; or you can terminate your offer and get your earnest money back.
Order homeowners insurance.
Sign your loan and closing documents at escrow.
Once your sale is recorded with the county the home is yours. Congratulations you’re a homeowner!
