HOME BUYERS GUIDE
Step 1.
Choose the RIGHT AGENT for the job.
When you work with Paige, she will empower you with key market information and every possible advantage to ensure you become an educated buyer. From providing information about the home buying process, to scheduling private property showings, to contract negotiations, to handing you the keys to your new home, Paige is ready when you are.
Step 2.
Apply for a MORTGAGE.
Applying for a mortgage is a sensitive process. We can advise you on what to do and what NOT to do when applying for a home loan.
Step 3.
Get PREAPPROVED for a home loan.
Being pre-approved for a home loan is a powerful negotiating tool. The seller of your dream home will feel more comfortable that you are the right person. We can help you partner with a mortgage broker or financial institution that will find you the right mortgage product at the best rate.
Step 4.
Start your HOME SEARCH.
Now for the exciting part – looking for the perfect home! Though it may seem daunting, with so many properties to choose from, it's important to streamline your search criteria to make the process easier.
Step 5.
Make an EDUCATED offer.
The ongoing communication and education you will receive from our team will empower you to make an informed offer and get the best possible deal on the home that you desire.
Step 6.
Satisfy CONDITIONS, INSPECTIONS & WAIVERS.
This involves collecting your initial deposit, performing a home inspection, getting the rest of your personal information and the property information to your mortgage broker or bank, and arranging for the other information that might be necessary, like surveys, water tests and condominium documents. This may sound like a lot, but we're here to guide you through the process.
Step 7.
Get a HOME INSPECTION.
Home inspections allow you to scrutinize the details of the home and save you from some unpleasant surprises. We are happy to recommend a qualified, reputable home inspector who will ensure that you receive a detailed report summarizing the condition of your home.
Step 8.
CLOSE the deal.
On closing day, legal ownership of the home is transferred to the buyer. Funds will be used to pay off your mortgage (if applicable), agent commissions and other closing costs. The remaining proceeds will be transferred to you in the form of a bank check or wired to your account upon successful closing. Rest assured that we will have prepared everything for a seamless transaction!
