HOME BUYING PROCESS

How Do I Find the Right Realtor?

Choose a knowledgeable real estate agent who understands the local market, helps find properties that fit your needs, and guides you through every step of the process.

How Should I Prepare My Finances for Buying a Home?

Determine your budget, get pre-approved for a mortgage, and research neighborhoods that align with your financial goals and lifestyle.

Where Should I Start My Home Search?

You can use our free online listing search, attend open houses, and work with your agent to find properties that match your criteria and long-term needs.

How Do I Make a Competitive Offer on a Home?

Once you find the right home, work with your agent to submit a strong offer that includes the purchase price, contingencies, and a deadline for the seller’s response.

Why Do I Need a Home Inspection?

A professional home inspection helps identify any issues with the property before you finalize the purchase, giving you peace of mind or leverage to negotiate repairs.

What Is a Home Appraisal and Why Is It Important?

A home appraisal determines the property’s market value based on size, location, and condition to ensure you’re paying a fair price and meeting mortgage requirements.

What Happens When I Close the Deal?

After the seller accepts your offer, work with your agent, lender, and attorney to complete all legal and financial requirements before finalizing the purchase.

How Do I Prepare for Moving Into My New Home?
