6 STEPS TO YOUR NEXT HOME
 

1. PRE APPROVAL 

-You know your price range, closing costs, and monthly payments upfront.
-Sellers request a pre-qualification letter along with an offer.
-You only looking at homes within your price range
-Using a Reputable local lender improves your chances of getting your offer accepted.
 

2. FIND THE HOME

After getting a thorough understanding of your new home needs, I will find homes for you that fit your needs, You may also find them on your own, send them my way and I will schedule a time to visit them. 

3. MAKING THE OFFER

Once you have found your dream home, I will research market data on the home to help you will determine how much to offer, then we will present a written offer to the seller’s agent. There may be some negotiation required and the seller may accept, reject, or counter your offer.

 

4. INSPECTION

You generally will have 10 days to make all Inspections you choose. Some to consider:
 
-Home Inspection
-Radon 
-Well/Septic System 
-Flood
 
This is also a good time to get a quote on homeowners insurance. 

5. APPRAISAL 

The appraisal is ordered by your lender after the inspection period is complete, no one gets to choose which appraiser will conduct the Inspection. The appraisal should come in at or above the sale price. If it comes in low we have three options: 
 
1. The seller can reduce the price to the appraised value. 
2. You and the seller can negotiate. (this may require you to put more money down) 
3. You or the seller can choose to terminate the contract.  
 
 

6. CLOSING DAY

The closing will be held at the Title Company, where you will sign the closing, and mortgage documents. In most cases, you will receive your keys and can begin moving in. 
 
Be sure to bring photo ID 
 
If moving from out of state, ask me about our remote closing options we have available.
