Get Pre-Qualified
You will need to get pre-qualified for a mortgage. Being pre-qualified gives homebuyers a better idea of how much they may be able to afford on a down payment and tames the cost expectations. It prevents prospective homebuyers from focusing on out of range prices.
Search for Homes
It’s important to be realistic by identifying your wants versus your needs before beginning your search. Prioritize the features you wouldn’t be able to live without. I’ll help you outline your wants versus needs in order to find the right spot for you.
Make an Offer
We will prepare to make an offer based on the price and terms you choose. Blueprinting and formatting will be key in securing the seller’s attention. I will help frame concerns you may have while still keeping the seller’s attention as a serious bid.
Negotiation
Negotiating a price is one of the most crucial aspects of your real estate journey. As your agent, I am a scholar in this area. I can take your interests and the conditions of the offer to ask better questions and prepare for objections.
Inspections and Appraisal
A professional home inspector will examine the home to identify any damages or fixes that need to be made. It’s important to find a thorough eye to avoid any surprises after you’ve moved in. Finding issues can be in your favor for bargaining power on negotiations. Use this time to learn about incoming expenses to help budget your finances better.
Closing
Negotiations are through and you’ve reached a deal. You and the seller will sign all necessary documents to finalize the sale and transfer the ownership of the property.
