1.) Find an agent

The importance of finding an agent cannot be overstated. Hiring the incorrect agent may cost you money, time, and frustration. Make sure you're working with someone you can trust, who will advise you, and always look out for your best interests. This is the point when we can help you!  We'd be happy to assist you and anybody you know who is considering buying or selling a home. Our mission is to give you the best customer service possible, resulting in a long-term relationship for all of your real estate needs.

2.) Financing

Like anything else in life, you must first secure the purchase. A home, on the other hand, is one of, if not the largest, purchases you will ever make. You want to speak with professionals in the area because it is the largest purchase you will ever make. Consult with qualified consultants to determine the best course of action for you to purchase a property, whether it's cash, financing, a gift, special programs, or incentives. Working on the action plan until you're ready is ideal. If you're getting financing, you'll get a letter from your lender indicating that you're ready to go and what your purchasing power is. Are you unsure who to contact? Please contact us!!! We will connect you with a few of my most trusted advisors.

3.) Go See Homes

This is most likely the most exciting aspect. It's critical to visit the houses you're most interested in. When your realtor compiles a list of houses to visit, it's critical that you let them know which one appeals to you the most. It's crucial to see the people you care about first. Leaving your most important interest until last may result in the home being sold to another buyer. In this market, time is of importance, and wasting time looking at properties you aren't interested in is a major no-no. Want to browse a list of available houses but aren't sure what's available? To view what's currently on the market, go here.

4.) Put in an Offer

Once you've found the house you love, you'll collaborate with your agent to write an offer that reflects both the property and your position. Here's what may occur: 1.) Your offer may be accepted in its current form. 2.) You may receive a counteroffer or a request for minor revisions to begin some of the negotiating. 3.) A possible no. **In a multiple offer situation, it is HIGHLY advised that you go with your highest and best offer; you don't want to risk anything in these situations. You will be under contract if everything goes smoothly, and all parties sign an offer. When you sign a contract, the real job begins. Inspections, closing dates, and working closely with your bank for the loan are just a few of the tasks ahead. Along the course, there will be some further negotiation, such as the following inspections. A great agent will be at your side every step of the journey, advising you of the benefits and drawbacks so you can make well-informed decisions to take into account all potential repercussions. Nevertheless, your agent will be there to assist you with the entire process.

5. CLOSING DAY

The most awaited day has finally arrived. It's the day you've been working so hard for. Finally, the closing will occur, during which money and title/keys will be exchanged.....YAYYYY! You will review and sign some paperwork, obtain keys, and be ready to move in once the deed is recorded. CONGRATS!!!!
