The Buyer’s Steps To Purchase A Home
We’ve helped hundreds of buyers find their dream home!
6 Steps to Your New Front Door
Beginning your home search to purchase a home can be an overwhelming and exciting adventure. Because of that our goal is to use our knowledge, experience and service to help you each step of the way. We want to make the process as easy and painless as possible. By the end of your search you should be able to say you had fun finding your way home.
LET’S TALK
Let’s get to know each other! Once you are ready to get started we will meet together for a Buyer Consultation to focus on your search and determine what you want and need in a home. Are you located across the country or or across the world? We will be happy to set up a ZOOM or FaceTime call to get started!
MORTGAGE MEETING
We work with lenders you can trust to help you determine your buying price range. Be prepared to give several items of paperwork to the lender as part of this process. They will need items such as pay stubs, W2’s and tax returns. After a lender review you will know what you can borrow to purchase your home. This is a vital step in the home buying process as most sellers require a lender’s pre-qualification letter when it is time to make your offer.

HOUSE HUNTING
Here is where the fun begins! We will get together and schedule viewings of the homes that are currently on the market and might fit your needs. We will talk about how the budget will work and keep you comfortable with the price. If the initial list of homes does not have the winner for you we will send you new listings as they come on the market and stay in communication so when the perfect one pops up we are ready to help! Can’t view homes in person due to your location? We can Facetime!
MAKING THE OFFER
When you are ready to make an offer, we will walk you through the paperwork and present your written offer. The seller could come back to us with a counteroffer or a rejection and we will help with that too! We are happy to give you negotiating tips and suggestions. Once the offer is accepted it is our job to help keep you on track and move forward to the next step.

APPRAISAL AND INSPECTION
Now that you have an accepted offer the home is ready for your professional inspection and appraisal. The lender will coordinate the appraisal to make certain the property value matches our offer. We will provide a list of inspectors so you can be confident in your choice. The inspection is a snapshot of the home’s current condition. This is your opportunity to ask the seller for repairs that may be needed in order to close the deal. WE call this another point of negotiation.
CLOSING DAY
We will keep you on track by letting you know the time and place for closing as well as anything you may need to bring such as your down payment and identification. Closing will take about an hour and will end with you receiving the keys to your new home! It will be time to celebrate but we won’t leave you now! You can always feel free to reach out to us for questions and suggestions on making your home your own and we will stay in touch with great monthly information for homeowners!
