Buying a Home

Buying Tips

Research: Research the neighborhoods and local market to determine what type of home you want, location, and amenities.

Get Pre-Approved: Get pre-approved for a mortgage loan. This will help you determine how much you can afford to spend on a new home, the financing you qualify for, and the closing costs associated with purchasing a home. 

Find a Home: Sign up for our MLS reports, attend open houses, search public sites, and tour homes with us to find a home that meets your needs and budget. 

Make an Offer: We will discuss and prepare a written offer, present it with the appropriate terms, and negotiate it on your behalf. 

Get an Inspection: Once your offer is accepted, you will have the home inspected by a qualified home inspector to make sure there are no major issues with the house. 

Get Financing: Secure financing for the new home. 

Close the Deal: Finalize the purchase with the closing process. This includes transferring funds, signing paperwork, and obtaining the deed to the property. 

Move In: Congrats! You are now the proud owner of a new home.
