HOME BUYERS GUIDE

"We don’t practice real estate the best we can — we practice it the best it can be done."

Buying your first home is exciting — and a little overwhelming. You need a trusted professional to guide you through the process, protect your best interests, and help you avoid costly mistakes.

• STEP 2.

  GET PREAPPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE

  Getting pre-approved for a mortgage strengthens your offer and can make you stand out in a competitive market. It will also help you determine what you can afford, so that you can begin house hunting.
  
  

• STEP 3.

  MAKE A LIST

  Determining your "Must Haves" vs. "Would Be Nice to Haves" can help you narrow your home search. Think beyond bedrooms and bathrooms. Consider location, commute times, school districts, and lifestyle needs.

• STEP 7.

  INSPECTIONS & APPRAISAL

  After your offer is accepted you'll need to schedule a home inspection to uncover potential issues, ensure the home’s value matches the purchase price, and to negotiate repairs or credits if needed.
  
  

• STEP 8.

  CLOSING DAY

  We’ll guide you through the final paperwork, coordinate with the title company, and make sure every detail is handled.

  Pro Tip: Bring your photo ID, your down payment (in the form of a cashier’s check or wire), and your excitement — you’re about to get the keys!
  
  

• STEP 9.
