STEPS TO BUYING A HOME

Being pre-approved, unlike being pre-qualified, means you've been approved by a lender for a specific loan amount. One of the biggest benefits of getting pre-approved for a home loan is that it helps you understand how much house you can afford.
In today's competitive real estate market, being preapproved can help you close on your home faster because you've already completed some of the financial checks required to get a mortgage. This can help you beat out other potential buyers who may not be pre-approved and speed up the home buying process. If you need a referral for a great lender, please reach out and I can send you my favorites to work with!
Buying a home is monumental—it's not just about finding a place; it's about discovering your haven, your safe space, your next chapter. To navigate this journey, having a trusted agent by your side is non-negotiable.
Our initial meeting is one of the first steps in your home-buying journey. During this consultation, we'll discuss your unique needs, budget, and lifestyle preferences to tailor our approach. This conversation sets the stage for a personalized and efficient home search, including finding homes to go show that aligns with your criteria. With my guidance through the intricacies of the real estate market, I know we'll find the perfect home that exceeds your expectations.
You found the home you love-now it’s time to make an offer!
I will create a comparative market analysis (CMA) on the property. We will look at factors such as comparable property data, market conditions and competition, mortgage conditions and outlook, location and home condition to help determine a strategic price and plan for the offer you want to make on this home.
I’ll thoroughly review the contract with you, explaining all terms and conditions in clear, understandable language, and offering insightful advice to help you make informed decisions. I am a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) so whether it involves counteroffers, contingencies, or strategic negotiations, I’ll work tirelessly to ensure you achieve the most favorable outcome possible. With open communication and a commitment to transparency, I’ll be your dedicated ally throughout the negotiation process, striving to secure the best possible terms and price for your property.
We are almost at the finish line! First up is your home inspection. I have a team of talented home inspectors ready to ensure that the home you are purchasing is safe and ready for you to buy! I will be by your side during the inspection and help guide you alongside your real estate attorney to ensure that any potential issues are addressed with the sellers promptly and efficiently.
Your lender will arrange for a third-party appraiser to provide an independent estimate of the value of the house you are buying. The appraisal lets all parties involved know that the price is fair. The loan file then moves on to the mortgage underwriter for closing.
Before we make it to the closing table, we have one final step- the final walk-through. During the final walk-through, we will go into the home one last time to ensure that all sellers personal items have been removed from the house and it is in the same condition you last saw it.
On closing day, I'll be your advocate, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is in order and facilitating a smooth transaction. The culmination of these efforts means you just bought your home! I’m so excited to celebrate this huge moment with you Congratulations!!!
