Resources for Buyers

Preparing For A Home Purchase

Finding your dream home shouldn’t be a daunting task. As your dedicated Realtor®, I’m here to guide you through the entire buying process. From considering your commute to work, to assessing the quality of nearby schools, I’ll help you make informed decisions every step of the way. When you’re ready to purchase a home, trust me to provide the expertise and support you need. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together.

  • Check Your Credit – Your credit is crucial when applying for a loan; the better your score, the lower your interest rates will be. Be sure to have copies of all three major credit reporting companies: Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, as the information in each report may vary slightly.
  • Find a Lender – Most people need to take out a loan when buying a home, and you’ll want to be prepared to make an offer when you find that perfect home. It’s important to be sure that you’re approved for a loan before you start looking at homes, so you don’t miss out on any opportunities.
  • Price Range – Calculate what’s realistic for you before considering different areas to live in to be sure things stay within your budget. Once you know your range, I can help you make the most out of your money.

Once Your Offer is Accepted

 

  • Home Inspection – After your offer is accepted, you’ll have a grace period to have the house professionally inspected and request repairs or counter offer if the situation arises. I will verify the terms and conditions of your loan and assist you in signing your papers. Count on me to assist you with any questions you may have during the process.
  • Moving Time! – Now that you’ve found your perfect home, it’s time to make moving arrangements. If you plan on utilizing a professional moving company, I can recommend reputable local movers. Don’t forget to fill out your change of address forms and inform the utility company of your move!
