Get Pre-Approved/Apply for a Loan
Before you start house hunting, apply for a pre-approval with your
Mortgage company. A pre-approval is a guarantee that you can qualify
for financing to a maximum purchase price and loan amount. This means you
can write a stronger Offer to Purchase. In a competitive market, this
could mean the difference between acceptance of your offer rather than
another buyer's offer. When you apply for a loan, be sure to get a good
faith estimate of your closing costs.
Make an Offer
You've found the home that's right for you; now it's time to write an
Offer to Purchase. Writing the offer is an exciting, emotional and
complicated experience. You'll be glad you have an experienced realtor at
your side to help you through each part of the process.
Order a Home Inspection
A professional home inspection is essential. A professional home inspector
sees beyond the "cosmetics" and surveys the entire house,
including structure, roof, exterior and major systems (heating, plumbing,
cooling, electrical, ventilation, etc.).
Attend Closing Day
Congratulations, today you will become a homeowner! At the closing,
you will settle all the financial details, the title to your new home will
be conveyed and usually you will receive the keys to your new home.
