THE BUYING PROCESS

1) CHOOSE A REALTOR®
​

 -Most people find Realtors through personal referrals or internet searches for specialists in your area.

​

       -Before deciding, set up a meeting to determine if the Realtor is a good fit for your needs

​

​
2) TALK TO A LENDER (unless you're paying cash)
​

-A lender will tell you how much money you qualify to be loaned, and what your monthly mortgage payments might be. 

​

-If possible, you will also want to get pre-approved for a loan so you can make a stronger offer.

​
​
3) LOOK FOR HOUSES 
​

-Search for places on the online marketplace or MLS (multiple listing service).

​

-Schedule "showings" where you can walk through a house with your Realtor.

​
​
4) PLACE AN OFFER TO BUY 
​

-Once you have figured out a price you want to offer, your Realtor will draft a contract and submit it to the sellers.

​

-The sellers may accept, deny, or negotiate in the form of a counter offer.

​
​
5) UNDER CONTRACT 
​

-When both parties sign the agreed upon terms and price, they are locked into a purchase agreement until closing (usually 30 days later).  

​

-Don't worry! There are several safeguards to protect a buyer if there is something wrong with the home, the loan, the title, or the insurance. 

​
​
6) INSPECTION
​

-An inspector checks the entire house for any defects or needed repairs.

​

-The Buyers submit an inspection objection asking the Sellers to make repairs or give additional money.

​

-The Sellers respond with an inspection resolution, which states which repairs they are willing to make or pay for. 

​
​
7) APPRAISAL
​

-A state licensed appraiser checks the house to determine its value. 

​

-The appraiser is hired by lender because they want to make sure the house is worth what you've agreed to pay for it.

​
​
8) CLOSING
​

-Buyer and Seller exchange money for possession of the home.

​

-PARTY TIME!
