Our goal right now is to get your finances in order so that when your dream home becomes available, you're ready.

Getting closer! You've finally found "the one" and you're excited to make an offer. We're here to make sure you get a fair deal by using data-driven market analysis to formulate your purchase offer. We'll help you draw up the purchase agreements and expertly negotiate contingencies to ensure you don't overspend. And if things don't work out with the first offer, don't worry. We'll be ready with a backup plan for the next one. Sit back, relax, and let us guide you through the process.
At this point, you have the option to inspect the property before closing the deal. To ensure a thorough and unbiased assessment, we'll send a licensed inspector to check the home's condition. This is crucial because it can reveal issues that may not be visible during a simple walk-through. A home inspection serves as a valuable negotiating tool and provides the best insurance for your investment. In the event that the inspection uncovers any issues, we'll work with you to come up with the best course of action. Don't let yourself be caught off guard by unexpected headaches down the line. Let us help you make a fully informed decision before finalizing the purchase.
Loan approval can be a tricky process, but we've got you covered. Our team has the experience to handle the final stages of your loan approval with ease, so you won't have to worry about a thing. We'll keep a close eye on the progress of your transaction and let you know about any unexpected funds that may be required. Plus, we'll work directly with your lender to ensure that all the necessary paperwork is complete, making for a smooth and stress-free closing. You can trust us to guide you through every step of the way.
Making it through the process of escrow can be overwhelming with all the details involved, but trust us that the view from the top is worth it. You can expect to sign a ton of paperwork before the end, but don't worry, we will be with you every step of the way to guide you through it. Just a few days before the closing date, we'll conduct a final walk-through to ensure everything is in order. Once everything is settled and both parties sign the closing statements, the keys are yours! It's time to celebrate your new home and the beginning of a new life.
The amount of money you can afford to spend on a home depends on your income, debt, credit score, and other financial factors. A lender can help you determine how much you can afford to borrow by pre-approving you for a mortgage.
When viewing a property, you should look for the condition of the home, the location, the neighborhood, the size and layout of the home, and any potential repairs or upgrades that may be needed.
The costs associated with buying a home include the down payment, closing costs, home inspection fees, and any necessary repairs or upgrades to the property. The total costs can vary depending on the purchase price of the home and the specific services needed.
While it is not required to use a real estate agent when buying a home, having an experienced agent on your side can help you navigate the complex process of buying a home, negotiate the best price, and ensure that all necessary paperwork and legal requirements are met.
Pre-qualification is a preliminary assessment of your creditworthiness and financial situation, which provides an estimate of how much you might be able to borrow. Pre-approval is a more detailed process that involves a thorough evaluation of your financial history, credit score, and employment status, and provides a conditional commitment from a lender to lend you a specific amount of money. Pre-approval is a stronger indication of your ability to secure a mortgage and can give you an advantage in a competitive housing market.
