steps to
HomeOwnership
Assemble your team
The journey to your new home starts with the right team. Schedule a consultation with your trusted Real Estate Advisor to outline your goals and assess your finances. Next, partner with a lender to secure a pre-approval for a mortgage. This step not only clarifies your budget but also strengthens your position when it’s time to make an offer. With a solid team in place, you're ready to embark on your home-buying adventure.
Property Search
Let the search begin! Your Real Estate Advisor will guide you through both on-market and off-market opportunities, leveraging their local connections and insights to uncover properties that might not be widely advertised. Together, you'll evaluate homes that align with your goals, ensuring each visit brings you closer to finding “the one.”
Make an Offer
Once you've identified your dream home, it’s time to craft a strategic offer. Your Real Estate Advisor will help you evaluate contingencies, such as inspection, financing, or appraisal clauses, to protect your interests while presenting a competitive bid. During this phase, you'll also add essential members to your team, like an attorney and a home inspector, to prepare for the next steps.
Inspections & Agreements
With your offer accepted, it’s time to dive into the details. Conduct a home inspection to ensure the property meets your expectations. Submit your formal mortgage application and work closely with your attorney to review and sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement. As the lender initiates an appraisal, you'll edge closer to securing your mortgage commitment—a significant milestone on the path to ownership.
Celebrate & Settle In
The finish line is in sight! Finalize your moving plans and complete a final walk-through to confirm everything is in order. On closing day, you’ll sign the contracts, officially becoming the proud owner of your new home. With keys in hand, it’s time to celebrate and settle into this exciting new chapter.
