The Home Buying Timeline

Before you even begin the home buying process, I suggest that you sit down with a lender and get pre-approved. Together, you will determine the best mortgage type for your situation, as well as how much house you will be able to afford. Be sure to get a pre-approval letter before leaving.

After you have met with your lender, we can sit down and discuss the type of home you're looking for. We will discuss style, price, location, and any other features that you find important for your home.

Now the fun part! I will set you up on a custom client search that will send you every available home that meets your criteria for your home. From there, I will schedule showings and we will go view the homes that you are interested in.

After finding the right home, we will discuss important factors and criteria needed to submit in a strong offer. We will discuss offer price, inspection time period, financial contingencies, etc.

You will deposit to agreed upon earnest money. You will schedule any inspections during the time period negotiated in the contract and we will negotiate any repairs requests you would like to make with the seller.

The mortgage lender will typically order an appraisal to determine the value of the home. I will educate you on your rights as a buyer and will offer you alternative routes to take if the appraisal should come back low in value.

After your loan has been processed you will receive the clear to close from your lender. We will perform the final walk-through before closing. After you sign the documents, it's time to celebrate because your home purchase is now complete!
