Information For Buyers
What to Expect
Financial Preparation
Finding a Real Estate Agent
Making an Offer
Once you find the perfect property your REALTOR® will write an offer that includes your proposed price and any contingencies which the seller can accept, reject, or counter.
Home Inspection
After your offer is accepted, your REALTOR® will notify a certified inspector to evaluate the home for potential issues, which gives you the opportunity to negotiate repairs or reconsider your offer.
Appraisal & Financing
The lender will require an appraisal to confirm the home’s value for financing purposes. If the appraisal comes in lower than the sale price, it may lead to further negotiations. After this, finalize your mortgage application with the lender, providing necessary documents and locking in your interest rate before closing.
Final Walk-Through
Conduct a final walkthrough of the property to ensure it’s in acceptable condition and that all agreed-upon repairs have been completed before the closing date.
Closing Process
Attend the closing meeting to sign all necessary paperwork, pay closing costs, and officially transfer ownership of the home.
