The Home Buying Process
- Get pre-approved.
- Apply for a mortgage loan; we can recommend specialists to you to answer any questions you may have about financing and the application process.
- Look at homes; we can help facilitate this by going over your buying criteria and sending you properties that only meet your criteria.
- Make an offer; Once you’ve found your dream home, you may want to move quickly. Your agent will guide you on a reasonable first offer to start negotiations based on market conditions. Also, make sure you consider closing costs which could account for 2-5% of the home price.
- Option period; after officially putting your new home under contract you will be under the option period. This is the time for you to do your due diligence and get your home inspection done to determine the home’s condition.
- Escrow period; submit loan funding paperwork.
- Closing; sign the paperwork and get the keys to your new home.
