Buy your dream house with confidence

So, you want to buy a house—now what? The first time buying a home is an emotional, exciting, and also exhausting experience. You may also be wondering along the way—what am I missing? This is a common question. Here’s how the buying process works from start to finish.

• Get pre-approved. To get pre-approved for a mortgage you’ll need to get some paperwork ready: pay stubs, W-2s, bank account statements, tax returns for the past two years, and credit lines, and names and addresses of your landlords for the past two years. Consider the amount your lender approves you for as a maximum – this is by no means what you should spend.  We have great lenders we can recommend if you don't currently have one.
• Find an agent. A good real estate agent can make all the difference in your buying experience.  We have extensive knowledge of the local market ensuring you get the best advice.  We will provide tailored solutions to meet your specific goals.  Our experience agents are skilled negotiators working tirelessly for you.  From the initial consultation to closing, we are with you every step of the way.
• Look at homes. Your Real estate agent will show you homes that match your criteria and preferences.  Start your search today and take the first step towards finding your perfect home! 
• Make an offer. Once you’ve found your dream home, you may want to move quickly. Your agent will guide you on a reasonable offer to start negotiations based on market conditions.
• Negotiate. Prepare to go back and forth with the seller a few times on price and selling conditions. Your real estate agent will be your advocate here and try to get you, their client as much as possible for your money.
• An accepted offer. Pop the champagne! If you reach an agreement, you’ll make a deposit to an escrow account to show good faith. Escrow is usually 30 days where the seller takes the house off the market with the contractual expectation that you’ll purchase the house - provided you don’t find any serious problems during the inspection.
• Do a home inspection. Even if the home appears to be flawless, there’s no substitute for having a professional inspector review the property for quality, safety, and general condition of your potential home. 
• Closing. Closing is the final step in the real estate transaction process, where all necessary documents are signed, and ownership of the property is officially transferred.  It's an exciting moment, as it marks the culmination of your journey to buy a home.  Our team will guide you through every detail, ensuring a smooth and stress-free closing experience.
