Key Steps in the Home Buying Journey
Empowering You at Every Mile Marker
We’ve broken down the home buying process into 18 clear, actionable steps to make it easy to track your progress:
1. Prequalification
The prequalification process gives you an amount you are likely to be approved for if you were to apply for a loan. This is an initial step in the mortgage transaction that benefits you as a borrower. Getting prequalified is a simple and quick process, and can even be done over the phone.
2. Look at Homes
Looking at homes is and should be FUN! I know this and prioritize my clients’ needs and wants before hitting the road to look at homes. At this stage in the process, it’s important to discuss the intricate details of each micro market you’re considering and cull down to a modest list of homes you’re ready to tour.
3. Evaluate the Options
After you’ve toured properties, it’s important to evaluate several details regarding the home.
• Location
• Current Price
• Features
• Cost of ownership on each _ individual property
• Goals for current purchase
Discussing your thoughts on why you do and do not want to purchase a particular property will help me write the best offer and terms for your situation OR find another property more suitable for your needs.
4. Make an Offer
Making an offer is more than just the purchase price. Terms and conditions as well as differing opinions of market value will come into play. I can honestly explain to you how strong of an offer you are bringing to the table when bidding on a home.
5. Negotiate
If the initial offer is not accepted, the seller has the right to counter or decline the offer altogether. More often than not, the seller will counter, at which time I will communicate with you the terms in which the seller will agree to. Buyers and sellers may go back and forth several times to achieve a win-win for all parties.
6. Offer Accepted
You and the seller have now come to terms on the purchase of their property and it is time to get to work to ensure both parties end up at the closing table!
7. Escrow Deposit
The earnest money deposit is agreed to in the terms written in the contract. This amount is often a low percentage of the agreed purchase price, but can sometimes be more depending on terms. You are responsible for getting the deposit to the closing company within the amount of time determined by the contract.
8. Deadlines
Deadlines are important! You are responsible for providing the deposit, and all other items needed to the mortgage and title company based on the contract timelines. I assist to ensure all inspections, appraisals, and other items are scheduled and completed within the time frame listed in the contract.
9. Title
The title of the property will be checked to ensure ownership can convey to you without any issues. Generally title insurance is issued as well, protecting you from issues that could arise from the past.
10. Inspection
Inspections are an important step in the process. You will want to have a professional look at all of your major systems to determine the condition.
11. Home Insurance
Insurance is an important component of your purchase. You will want to insure one of your largest assets is protected.
12. Survey
A survey will show the property lines and allow you to make sure your property is not encroaching on another’s property and that no one is encroaching on your property.
13. Appraisal
An appraiser will give their opinion of the home’s value to make sure it is in line with the agreed upon sales price. This will be required when financing is involved.
14. Loan Commitment
At this point your lender has decided that all conditions of making your loan are satisfied, time to move forward to closing.
15. Walkthrough
The pre-closing walkthrough is to confirm the property is in the correct condition for you to take possession. It is important to ensure items that are supposed to convey with the property are there and that items that were to be removed have been removed.
16. Transfer Utilities
Your agent can provide a list of the utility vendors for your specific location. Ask about our Elite Home Services!
17. Closing
Paperwork will be signed transferring the property to you. If a loan is involved, loan documents will be signed as well.
18. Possession
Time to realize your real estate dreams and move in and enjoy your new home!
