THE HOME BUYING PROCESS

- THE BUYER'S ADVANTAGE
As the home buyer, your agent’s commission is paid by the seller of the home in almost all circumstances. This means your representation costs you nothing!
- MEET WITH A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
Discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including style, price, and location.
- GET PRE-APPROVED
You will need pay stubs, W2’s, and bank statements. Knowing what you can afford is critical to a successful home shopping experience.
- SEARCH FOR HOMES
The fun part! Your agent will schedule showings and help you find the perfect home!
- MAKE AN OFFER
Your agent will prepare the offer based on the price and terms you choose.
- NEGOTIATION AND CONTRACT
It may take a few tries to get it just right, but hang in there. You’re on your way!
- IN ESCROW               
You and the seller have agreed to the price and terms. The home is effectively held for you until closing.
- FINAL DETAILS              
Perform due diligence, order the appraisal, conduct an inspection, and review terms with the lender.
- CLOSING                     
This is the transfer of funds and ownership. A title company or an attorney typically acts as an independent third party to facilitate the closing.


CONGRATULATIONS!
You have successfully bought your home!
