Setting Goals Together

Essential aspects in buying - let's explore your specific needs and preferences, including desired location, property size, budget, must-have features, and preferred timelines for the home search and closing.

Comprehensive overview - let's discuss the home buying process, which includes steps such as pre-approval, property search, offers & acceptance, negotiations, inspections, appraisal, and closing.

Monitor and adjust the plan as needed - we will monitor the market conditions, discuss realistic expectations, and outline the real estate agent role in guiding you towards a successful purchase.

Maintain open and honest communication - we will maintain open and honest communication throughout the buying process, keeping you informed of any updates. Our goal is to make the buying process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Secure Lender Pre-Approval

Securing a lender pre-approval before embarking on your home buying journey offers several significant advantages.

  1. It helps you understand your budget clearly, allowing you to narrow down your search to homes that you can afford, saving time and avoiding disappointment.
  2. It strengthens your position as a serious buyer in the eyes of sellers, potentially giving you an edge in competitive markets or during negotiations.
  3. It provides confidence and peace of mind, knowing that you're financially prepared to make an offer when you find the right property.
  4. A pre-approval can expedite the closing process once you've found your dream home, potentially allowing you to move in sooner and with fewer hurdles to overcome.

Begin Property Search

Property Selection - based on your home criteria, we will begin searching for suitable properties that match your needs and budget.

Showings - I will schedule property showings and accompany you to these appointments, providing valuable insights and answering questions.

Feedback and Adjustments - I will gather feedback from you after each showing to refine or adjust the search criteria, if necessary.

Market Analysis - I will continuously monitor the market, alerting you to new listings and advising on pricing and market trends.

main

Offers and Acceptance

Prepare the Offer - we will determine the offer price and include contingencies and terms. 

Submit the Offer - I will submit the offer to the listing agent and include your lender pre-approval letter.

Negotiate the Offer - we will engage in potential negotiations with the seller, while remaining diligent to your budget and timelines.

Acceptance & Offer Execution - once both parties agree to terms, we will execute with final signatures and the offer becomes a contract.

main

Home Inspection & Repair Negotiations

Home Inspection - we will schedule a professional home inspection to thoroughly assess the property's condition and review the inspection report to identify any issues, both major and minor.

Prioritize the Repair Requests - this can be based on safety and structural concerns, and items that significantly affect the property's value or habitability.

Requesting Repairs or Buyer Credit - we will submit a formal repair request to the seller, detailing the specific repairs or credits you're seeking while remaining open to negotiations; the seller may agree to some, all, or none of the requested repairs.

Execute the Agreement - once both parties agree on the repairs or credits, ensure that the agreement is documented in writing, and execute with final signatures.
main

Title Search & Appraisal

Title Search - we will choose a local title company to conduct a thorough title search on the property. They will identify any liens, encumbrances, or ownership issues that may affect the property's transfer.

The Lender Will Schedule a Professional Appraisal - this is to determine the property's market value. The appraiser will assess the property and provide a report determining value based on recent comparable sales data and property condition.

main

Moving & Utility Transfer

Select and Secure a Moving Company - confirm the moving company's availability based on the determined closing date, and if suitable, proceed in booking their services. 

Transfer Utilities - contact local utility providers (electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, internet, etc.) to arrange the transfer of services into your name for the day of closing.

main

Final Walk Through & Closing

Conduct a Final Walk Through - we will verify that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed and confirm the property is clean and free of debris.

Attend Closing - all parties to the closing need to bring a valid photo ID to closing. We will execute all closing documents and you will receive the keys to your new home!
