Elevated buying experience

Your home is likely to be one of the largest and most important financial investment decisions of your life. Having a better understanding of the real estate transaction from start to finish will help you enjoy this memorable event.

Buying a home can and should be an exciting experience. We are committed to four main objectives; saving you time, saving you money, providing well-informed advice with seamless service, and offering you counseling to protect your best interests.

Step 1: Meet with one of our real estate professionals

Discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including style, price, and location.

> The buyer's advantage

As the home buyer, your agent's commission is paid by the seller of the home in almost all circumstances. This means your representation costs you nothing, so doesn't it only make sense to obtain the best representation possible?

Step 2: Get pre-approved

You will need pay stubs, W2s, and bank statements. Knowing what you can afford is critical to a successful home purchase experience.

Step 3: Search for homes

The fun part! Your agent will schedule showings and help you find the perfect home.

> Advanced search

Not all real estate websites are the same. Your real estate professional has tools and systems to ensure you see every available home that meets your criteria.

Step 4: Make an offer

Your agent will prepare the offer based on the price and terms you choose.

Step 5: Negotiation and contract

It may take a few tries to get it just right, but hang in there. You’re on your way!

> The Contract

In most cases, the contract provides you with a timeline to obtain financing, as well as time to inspect the physical condition of the home. Your real estate professional will inform you of all your rights and responsibilities related to the contract.

Step 6: In escrow

You and the seller have agreed to the price and terms. The home is effectively held for you until closing.

Step 7: Final details

Perform due diligence, order the appraisal, conduct an inspection, and review terms/conditions with the lender.

> Prepare for closing

You will be finalizing your loan, reviewing documents, and discussing the findings from the inspection. Your agent will be managing this entire process for you.

Step 8: Closing

This is the transfer of funds and ownership. A title company or an attorney typically acts as an independent third party to facilitate the closing.
