You need a partner who knows the neighborhoods, the market and the process. Who can advise you when to think on it, sleep on it or go all in on it. Because this is about much more than bricks and sticks. This is about your future home. And you don't want to live with it. You want to love it.
Get pre-approved
Start by getting pre-approved for a mortgage, which will help determine how much you can afford to spend on a home and give you an advantage over other potential buyers.
Make an offer
After finding the perfect home for you, it’s time to make an offer. A real estate agent can help you craft a competitive offer that sellers are likely to accept.
Do some research
Once you have a budget in mind, begin researching different neighborhoods and properties that fit into your price range.
Once your offer is accepted
When your offer is accepted, you will need to pay earnest money. You should have a home inspection done to ensure that the property is up to standard. Your Real Estate agent will keep track of all the contingencies within your contract and ensure your protection.
Find a Real Estate Agent
A real estate agent can help you find homes that meet your needs and make sure you don’t miss any important steps in the buying process.
Close on your new home!
Once all contingencies have been met and you have received your closing documents you will be ready to close!
