Choose a realtor and a lender. Choosing the right team can make or break your home buying experience.
Unless you are paying cash, you will need a mortgage. The first step is getting pre-approved.
Set your buying criteria with your realtor so they know what to look for. Location, size and the “must-haves”
This is the fun part! Keep an open mind and see as many as you need in order to determine what you like best.
Time to formally make an offer on the house you like. Ensure you understand all terms and contingencies within your offer.
After your offer is accepted, there will be a few contingencies that need to be met. Inspections and Appraisals are most common.
Congratulations, you have been officially approved for your loan and given the “clear to close” from your lender.
