01
Meet with Agent
When you meet with your agent you will also review the state required real estate paperwork and representation guidelines. Each real estate agency offers different types of agent contracts with their clients. This will be reviewed and explained in further detail at your meeting.
02
Get Pre-Approved
To be pre-approved, the lender will pull your credit and ask you for documentation to verify your finances. Before making an offer on a house, it is best to get pre-approved to show sellers your offer is serious and that a lender has already approved you for enough money to purchase the home.
03
House Shopping
After your meeting, your agent may send links to options or even generate a personalized webpage for you. This webpage will generate listings for you to review which homes meet your criteria. Once you narrow your search, your agent can schedule the showings.
04
Make an Offer
When we have found a home you're interested in buying, we will quickly and strategically place an offer.
05
Under Contract
Once the seller has accepted your offer, both parties sign a sales agreement and you're officially under contract.
06
Inspection & Appraisal
It's rare a home doesn't have some small issues, it's the big ones you want to know about!
