What To Expect When Purchasing a Home

INSPECTION: Now that you are under contract, your time period to do inspections begins. I will assist in scheduling the inspections to fit your schedule. Most homes have minor faults, it does not mean they are uninhabitable. You need to be aware of any issues you can take care of on your own and what if any you would like to ask that the seller be responsible for taking care of before closing. (Note: during this time your financing must get locked in and appraisal ordered.)

REPAIR REQUEST: You have a specified amount of time to request any repairs. You must submit in writing all repair requests to the sellers. The sellers will then do one of three things: they will sign off on all requested repairs, counter offer on the repairs, or they will refuse to do the repairs.

RE-INSPECTION: This may be done by the inspector for a fee or by yourself, unless specified by your lender. (ie: sometimes you must pay an appraiser to come out to re-inspect a required repair.)

CLOSING: Have the funds wired to the title company for the amount specified by your lender. When you get the encrypted email call me or your closer, to make sure it goes to the right place. Get ready to sign a stack of papers... Once they are all signed and the funding has come through...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are the proud new owner of a home!!!

Go to open houses, enjoy looking, and I can get information on any house you like!

Be sure to let the open house host know as you enter you just want to view the home and you already have a Real Estate Agent. Write my name and number down at the open house along with just your name only. This will eliminate calls from the agents on all the open houses you may visit. (They will contact me on your behalf)
