1. Introduction
You’re introduced to your realtor, receive a pre-approval, and discuss potential financing options.
2. View Properties
Your Realtor will set up an MLS search for the buyer and schedule showings of potential properties.
3. Make an Offer
Once a potential property is found, review data about market values and cost sheets before submitting an offer with your Realtor.
4. Submit Your Offer
After reviewing the paperwork and explaining the Sales Agreement and related documents, we will submit the offer to the listing agent.
5. Negotiations / Acceptance
Once the seller responds to the offer, we may negotiate, revise, or withdraw until a fully accepted agreement is reached.
6. Mortgage & Settlement
After the offer is accepted, we will gather all necessary information and move forward with securing the mortgage and selecting a settlement company.
7. Home Inspections
Schedule your home inspection. Once completed, we will respond by accepting the home “as-is,” negotiating repairs for unforeseen issues, or terminating the agreement.
8. Order Appraisal
Work toward the mortgage commitment date. Once completed, the home must appraise for the purchase price and have a clear title with no conditions.
9. Walk-Through
A pre-walk-through is completed four days prior to closing, and the final walk-through is done the day before or the day of closing.
10. Closing
Bring a certified check and photo ID to closing and officially become a homeowner.
