The Step by Step Buying Process
1. Getting pre-approved by a lender
By providing your Real Estate agent with some basic information about your income, savings, and debt, he or she can assist you in getting pre-approved by a reputable mortgage lender. The lender will then go over various financing options available to you, what monthly payment amount you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs.
2. Choosing a home
For most buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process. A trusted Real Estate agent can assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at. From local community information like schools and zoning to home-specific details like condition and amenities, an agent can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
3. Making an offer
Once you’ve found the home of your dreams, a Real Estate agent will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a fair selling price. Based on those comparable sales, as well as other factors like inspections and repairs, an agent will then help you structure an offer and negotiate to get you the very best deal possible.
4. Closing
Closing, or settlement, can be a complicated process. In some areas, the escrow or title company handles the closing process, while in other areas an attorney handles it. Regardless of where you’re buying, a Real Estate agent can help ensure that closing process goes smoothly.
Get Pre-Approved
Before you start looking for your new dream home, it’s a good idea to meet with your Mortgage Lender to get pre-approved for financing. At this stage, they will gather information about income, assets and debts of the borrower (you) to determine how much house you may be able to afford. This includes a credit report, W-2 forms, pay stubs, Federal Tax Returns and recent bank statements. There are a variety of different loan programs, so we will help you get pre-qualification for the specific programs that best suit your needs.
