Make an offer
We'll prepare an offer to buy your potential new home based on the listing price and the terms you choose.
Negotiations
There may be some back and forth when it comes to the negotiation, but be patient. At this point, you're getting very close to owning your new home!
The contract
In most cases, the contract provides you with a timeline to obtain financing, as well as time to inspect the condition of the home.
The escrow process
Once you and the seller have agreed to the price and the terms, your home will be in escrow. The home is effectively held for you until the closing date.
The final details
You'll need to perform all due diligence at this stage, including ordering the appraisal, conducting an inspection, and reviewing terms with your lender.
Preparing for closing
This step involves finalizing your loan, reviewing documents, and going over the inspection findings. We'll manage this process for you and handle all of the paperwork.
Closing
The transfer of funds and ownership happen on the closing date. An attorney or title company typically acts as a third party to facilitate the closing.
Congratulations! You've just become a new homeowner!
