Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour,
we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection, contingencies, funding and setting your calendar from start to finish. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter an Escrow period. This involves payment of a deposit to hold the contract of typically 1% of the purchase price. Usually this is a title company chosen by the seller and applied towards closing costs. It can be refunded upon certain conditions such as  mutual termination of the contract or if funding can not be found.

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment.  Primarily, they want to ensure that the home is worth the cost you are paying for it. This is a good thing! This appraisal can also trigger a demand by the lender that repairs be completed by the seller before they will give their approval.

Inspections

A licensed inspector spends 2-4 hours at the home checking everything from your roof, electrical, plumbing, AC, and other systems. Other specialty vendors may also be recommended or required such as septic or solar systems companies. The inspection will let you know what problems there might be, some are minor and some may be safety issues. I supply a suggested vendors list. You pay them directly. Based on these reports, we continue...re-negotiate...or cancel the contract.

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. I'm not going anywhere! I'll be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
