General
Steps in Purchasing a home are as follows:
1. Meet with your
Realtor, decide on a general price range, location, and any other
various wants and needs you would like in your new home.
2. Get pre-qualified with a
lending company, this will give you a more exact picture of the type and
price of homes you should look for.
3. Make a list of the top six
to ten homes that you would like to see and have your Realtor tour them
with you.
4. Choose the homes that you
are the most interested in, and have the Realtor do background work for
you, to help you make your final decision.
5. When you are ready to make
an offer, discuss with your Realtor the best method and get their
suggestions as to the amounts and contingencies.
6. Your Realtor then presents
your offer to the sellers thru their agent. If they agree to the offer,
then we move on to prepare for closing. If they counter offer, then you
decide to counter back, etc.
7. Once a contract has been
agreed upon, your Realtor will set up pest and home inspections,
financing, appraisals, attorneys, surveyors if needed, etc.
8. Close to closing, you will
do a final walk thru to assure that all repairs have been completed and
property is ready for transfer of ownership.
9. Attend the closing and sign
all paperwork etc., get the keys to your new home!
10. MOVE IN!
