What to Expect During the Home Buying Process
You found the best agent (ME!) and have met with a mortgage professional to help determine what you can afford — what comes next? My guide breaks down the steps of buying a home, so you will be prepared to find a home that fits your unique needs!
Home Shopping
Now the fun part can begin! You will likely want to refine your search criteria, determine which neighborhoods you are interested in, and what needs you have in a home. If selected as your agent, I can help make suggestions based on your criteria as well.
If you’re like most buyers, you’ve probably already started your home search online — which is great! My website and mobile app can help you personalize your search to make the process of buying a home as easy as possible.
Use the interactive map to find homes in or near a specific neighborhood or school district. Learn about the communities you are interested in, save searches, favorite listings, and receive property alerts when new listings matching your search criteria become available. The RE/MAX app allows you to take the same great search experience with you on the go. Find homes you love anytime, anywhere and schedule showings with me directly within the app.
These are just a few of the tools that can help make finding a home as seamless as possible. Contact me today to learn more!
Make an Offer
Once you find a home you love, it’s time to make an offer. I will work alongside you to negotiate a fair offer and can help you understand the terms of your contract. If your offer is accepted by the seller, you’ll move onto the next phase which may involve an inspection and appraisal, bringing you one step closer to home ownership!
Prepare for Closing
This is the final step of your home buying journey. Closing is the official transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. At closing, you will sign your mortgage paperwork to solidify your purchase. From there, you officially become a homeowner and will be handed the keys to your new home!
Welcome Home!
Put on your party hat — it’s time to celebrate! You are a new homeowner and it’s time to start making memories in a new home.
