The Home Buying Process:
8 Steps To Becoming Homeowner!

Are you thinking about buying a house? Well, congratulations. It is a great decision and you are looking for information at the right place.

Now, finding and buying the ideal property can be a dream come true. There is something special about walking up to the front door on moving day, sliding in your key and entering the foyer of your beautiful new home.

However, getting to that point can be a nightmare unless you have the right motivation, you have a big picture of the homebuying process and, you have the right group of people that work in the industry to help you throughout all the eight steps of the buying process, which are:

Step # 1 is Getting to Know You, a meeting with a Realtor to go over the homebuying process in detail. It’s crucial to get a clear picture of the process, discuss your needs and goals, analyze your current financial situation, answer any and all questions you may have and set up expectations and a plan of action for you to become a homeowner.

By the way, we are ready to meet with you for a FREE buyer’s consultation anytime. We are full time agents, work by appointment, and, we can accommodate to your schedule.  Just call us to set an appointment at a time of your convenience.

Step # 2 is Getting Pre-Approved. If you are planning to finance the purchase of your next house, you need to have your financial situation checked by an experienced mortgage consultant, one who will review your documentation and provide a pre-approval letter, or even better, a loan commitment letter. By the way, when we meet, we’ll guide you on the direction of our preferred local lenders to get you ready to start looking for houses.

Step # 3 is Searching for Homes. Once you are pre-approved, we’ll review your search criteria based on the pre-approval, we’ll schedule showings to houses that meet your needs and wants and are within your purchasing power.

Step # 4 is Making an Offer. Once you find a house that you would like to buy, we’ll review recent sales in the neighborhood and help you determine tentative loan scenarios for it. We’ll then help you prepare the offer with the price and terms of your choosing.

Step # 5 is Negotiation and Contract. Once we decide on the terms of the offer, we’ll skillfully help you negotiate with the sellers to reach the best agreement possible for you.

Step # 6 is In escrow or Under Contract. At this point the sellers already committed to sell the house to you and you committed to buying it from them, as long as, after doing your due diligence, everything looks good, and yes, you guessed it right, we’ll be there with you every step.

Step #7 is Reviewing Final details. After all contingencies are clear, you will have an opportunity to review the final numbers of the transaction to avoid any surprises. And finally,

Step # 8 is Closing or Celebration. This is the day in which you become a homeowner. You will sign a lot of documents, get the keys of your house and celebrate!

As you can see, this may seem like a very long and complicated process. So, having the right help throughout the way, is imperative.

So, whenever you are ready to get started with your journey, just give us a call or send us a quick message to schedule a Free buyers consultation meeting. We’d love to have an opportunity to be of service to you.
