THE HOME BUYING PROCESS...EXPLAINED
The home buying process can be long and strenuous. From dealing with the f inances, to touring multiple homes, to making the f inal hard decision, it can take a lot out of anyone, but it’s worth it in the long run. Imagine f inally being able to go to a home that you can call your own! Below we have outlined the steps of the home buying process.
RESEARCH AND SAVING Before you even start the process, it is important you do a few things: research, save up, and raise your credit. (Check out our previous blog post where we inform you how you can raise your credit to purchase a home!) When it comes to saving for your new home, set goals and stick to it. You’ll want to save and do as much research as possible. The more you know, the better. This will help make things less overwhelming, and self-empower you throughout the process.
GET PREQUALIFIED This is when you find out how much you can actually afford. Meet with your mortgage lender and give them information about your income, savings, and investments. From there, the mortgage lender gives you an estimate of what you would qualify for when you actually apply for the loan.
FIND A REAL ESTATE AGENT This part is SUPER important. Finding the right real estate agent to help you find your dream home will make the process go as smooth as possible. Here at Premium Properties, we have hundreds of qualified and trained agents to help you get the job done, but whether you choose one of our amazing agents, or one of the other guys, interview agents that you are thinking of doing business with. They will present what they can do for you, and kindly ask you to sign a contract to make their services to you official. Once you have made this decision, the real work begins.
