Steps to buying a home
1.
Get Pre-qualified for a Mortgage Loan
Once you decide that you are ready to purchase a home, the first step is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage loan. The pre-qualification process can help you determine what you can afford and what type of loan works for you. Once you are pre-qualified for a loan, you are ready to submit an offer on your dream home. We work with many great mortgage lenders, and we would be happy to make recommendations.
2.
Find a REALTOR®
Real Estate professionals help to take the stress out of the home buying process and can guide you through the process step-by-step. Your real estate agent should be experienced, knowledgeable, responsive, and honest. To ensure that you get the very best service, look for professionals with the REALTOR® distinction, as it is an indicator that they are a member of the National Association of Realtors®, and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics.
3.
Property Search
Your real estate agent should communicate with you regularly and keep you up to date on available homes as soon as they hit the market. That way, you will be poised to take action as soon as you find the perfect property.
4.
Negotiate
Once you have found your dream home, it’s time to submit an offer. Your real estate agent should be very familiar with market conditions and be able to explain them to you so that your offer is fair and competitive. Additionally, your agent should guide you through the contract documents so that you understand them and are comfortable with your decisions. Your agent should be present, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout contract negotiations and inspections so that you know exactly what is happening.
5.
Close
After your offer is accepted, your real estate agent should remain in contact with home inspectors, lenders, and title companies to ensure that settlement day goes smoothly. There are numerous parties involved in the sale of a home, and it pays to have an experienced agent at your side. After your stress-free settlement, it’s time to move into your new home!
