Meet in person and create a wishlist
Let’s get to know each other! Once you’re ready to work with
our team, we’ll meet together for a Buyer Consultation to
focus your search and determine what you want and need in a
home.

Pre-qualification
We’ll introduce you to our mortgage partner, who can
help you determine your buying price range with confidence.
Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the
process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender
will do a full review and then tell you what you will be
able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital
step in the home buying process!

Listing alerts sent to you based on your
criteria
Our agents get to know you — Need to move for a job? Want a
shorter commute? Getting married? Having a baby? Need to
upgrade or downsize? At this stage in the process, we’ll
send you notifications about the listings that you’re most
likely to be excited about. Be sure to let us know if one
(or more) jumps out at you so that we can skip to the next
step and schedule a viewing. be there for you every step of
the way.

Schedule viewings and attend open housesHere’s
where the buying process gets really fun! We’ll go to local
open houses together and schedule viewings of the homes that
you’ve loved from our listing alerts. We’ll talk about how
the budget will work and make sure that we find you the
perfect home. |

Find the perfect home and write an offer
When you’re ready to make an offer, your agent will present
a written offer to the seller. And while everyone loves
getting their offer accepted right away, the seller could
come back to us with a counter offer, or reject your initial
offer all together. We’re happy to walk you through each of
these possibilities and exactly how to handle them. Once the
offer is accepted, it’s time to get your financing in order
and move forward to the next step!

Acceptance, appraisal and inspection
The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going
through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees
that the price of the property matches the condition of the
property while the inspection makes sure that everything in
the home is functioning properly and there are no major
issues inside. These are the last steps before the shiny
keys to your home are placed in your hand... for good! |

|
|
Time to close and get the keys
Get excited because it’s time to close on your home! This
process includes going through all of the final paperwork
and signing your name (a lot!). Don't forget to bring all of
the paperwork you’ve collected along the way and your down
payment.
