Home Buying/Buyer's Guide

1. Finding your real estate agent; Working with a great real estate agent is, so important, for you getting the best deal, and making the transaction as smooth as possible!

2. Get a mortgage pre approval, or mortgage prequalification; This is where it begins, so reach out to a mortgage loan officer, or a loan originator, so you can see how much you can afford. This will determine if you can afford what you're looking for. I can give you a recommendation if you need one they will determine you a budget, and show you the loan options you have as this differs from person to person.

3. The searching process; Determine what your needs are for your future home! Start exploring neighborhoods, and attend open homes. I can guide you to properties that match your desired criteria.

4. Making an offer; Once you find the one you like I can bring up a offer to the seller, and negotiate. Just be prepared in for a lot of negotiating as we will review clauses in the offer, and contingencies which will contribute to closing. If the offer is accepted we will sign a P & S(Purchase and Sales) Agreement following all contingency deadlines.

5. Attend the closing sign any final closing paperwork, and just like that you have your keys to your brand new home!
