BUYING PROCESS
DEFINE YOUR GOALS 🥅
Are you looking for a forever home, looking to cashflow, or building equity, maybe it’s a combination of these? We will sit down, examine your financial situation and determine a plan that will best accomplish your unique goals.
GET PRE-APPROVED
A pre-approval indicates to sellers that you are a strong candidate for a mortgage and can give you a leg up on competitors with submitting offers. Need a lender? We can connect you with some of the best in the Valley.
FIND A HOME
Make a list of must-haves, deal-breakers, and wish-list to help target your home search. Want to get creative? We can bring you foreclosures, off-market deals, or homes with assumable loans to take advantage of lower interest rates.
MAKE AND OFFER & NEGOTIATE WITH THE SELLER
We will help you put together an offer with competitive terms that meet your needs. We are expert negotiators. Once the seller responds, you can have peace of mind that we will go to bat for you and get you the best deal possible!
OFFER ACCEPTED
Once we come to terms and get your offer accepted, we will open escrow and order title.
SECURE FINANCING
Meet with your loan officer to secure your mortgage and provide all the information to verify your personal finances, your capacity to repay the loan, and any liabilities you may have.
HOME APPRAISAL
An appraiser comes to the property to determine its fair market value. The value will determine how much a lender is willing to lend you.
CONDUCT HOME INSPECTION
Perform general inspection (pest, home, etc.) This is the time to reveal any issues or problems before you buy the property.
REVIEW REPORTS
Review Inspections, if there are any issues, this is the time to re-negotiate with the seller or issue a request for repairs. We will also review appraisals with the lender to ensure financing on the home.
ORDER HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE POLICY
Finalize your homeowner’s insurance policy and be sure it has enough coverage for all of your financial assets like your home and personal property.
CLEAR TO CLOSE & FINAL WALK-THROUGH
Remove contract contingencies. Make sure your loan is firm and make the final deposit. The lender prepares and sends loan documents to escrow. We do the final home inspection walk-through together before closing.
CLOSING & CELEBRATION!
You’ll sign documents that will finalize your mortgage, pay the seller, pay your closing costs, transfer the title from the seller to you and make arrangements to legally record the transaction as a public record. CONGRATULATIONS! You successfully completed your property purchase!
