Guide To Buying

Step 1: Connect

At the first meeting, we will help you put together a comprehensive strategy to guide you through the home buying process. This meeting will help outline your home criteria, including preferred neighborhoods, pricing parameters, and your timeline. This strategic approach will serve as your guiding compass throughout your home search.

Step 2: Get Pre-approved

Before embarking on your home search, the crucial first step is securing pre-approval for a mortgage loan. We will connect you with our preferred mortgage partner, Edge Home Finance. Based on your financial history and creditworthiness, your lender will determine your borrowing capacity. This pre-approval process will provide you with a clear understanding of your target price range.

Step 3: Home Visit

We’ll will curate a list of properties that align with your specific needs. Together, you will create a showing packet for the homes you plan to visit. This personalized approach ensures that each property tour is efficient and tailored to your preferences.

Step 4: Making the offer

Once you find “the one,” we will assist you through the process of submitting an offer. This offer represents your intention to purchase the home at a specific price. If your initial offer differs from the list price, the seller may respond with a counter-offer. Your advisor will provide expert advice and negotiation strategies to facilitate an agreement on price and terms.

Step 5: Schedule Home inspection

Your purchase agreement typically allows for a limited timeframe to conduct inspections and assess the property's condition. During this phase, we will assist you in addressing any concerns that may arise during inspections. Our expertise ensures that you navigate this critical phase smoothly.

Step 6: Final walkthrough and Closing

Just before the closing date, a final walk-through of the property is scheduled. This important step ensures that the property's condition remains consistent with the time of inspection, major systems and appliances are in working order, and any inspection-related issues have been resolved.
