Everything You Need To Know (LINKS)
GETTING QUALIFIED FOR A HOME LOAN
Getting qualified for a home loan can be a daunting process, even for a seasoned home buyer. Financial considerations and preparations are central to any home purchase…
CHOOSING YOUR REALTOR
All they need to do is drive you around and show you houses, right? In fact, looking at houses is just one small part of what a Realtor will do for you as a buyer…
SEARCHING FOR HOMES
Most home buyers today begin their search for a new home on the Internet. But which site do you use?
LOOKING AT HOMES
Now for the fun part. Many people find that looking at potential homes is the fun part of home shopping. Others find this to be the hard part. Either way, you will need to have an objective in mind when you finally decide to start looking at homes. Without a plan of action, you can spend a lot of time searching, and before long all the homes begin to look alike and it becomes not so fun anymore…
MAKING AN OFFER
For obvious reasons this is an important step in the process. Offer too high and you may pay more than necessary for your home. Offer too low and someone else may make a better offer and you lose out on your dream home…
NEGOTIATIONS
Negotiation is a complex matter and all transactions are unique. Both sides – you and the seller – want to feel that the outcome favors them, or at least represents a fair balance of interests…
FINANCING YOUR HOME
Before looking for a home you’ll need to talk to a lender to figure out how much you can afford to pay for a home. Once they review your financial information, they will provide you with a pre-approval letter that tells the seller you’re a serious buyer instead of just a “Looky-Loo”…
THE APPRAISAL
The appraiser will look at the property, compare it with other homes recently sold in the area, and come up with their opinion of the value of the home. This appraised value will have a very important affect on your transaction…
HOME INSPECTION
While a home inspection is not required, it is highly recommended, even for new home purchases. A general inspection is not meant to uncover or answer every single problem that might occur in your home – rather they are there to give you a general overview of the condition of your potential home purchase…
CLOSING
The days leading to closing can be stressful as all the final requirements, inspections and paperwork must be completed. We help to make the closing as stress free as possible by managing deadlines and helping you work through issues…
MOVING IN
Once you have closed on your house you can start moving! That is where the work begins. Below is a checklist that will help you plan for the big day…
We’d LOVE to work with you!!!
