BUYER SERVICES
Defining What You Want and Need
Start by creating a prioritized list of features you want in your next home and the reasons why.
Use it as your search guide, but remember that you will probably need to make some
compromises. We will help you find the area, neighborhood and home best suited to your needs.
How Much Can You Afford?
When you're ready to move to the next step, you need to be pre-approved for a mortgage. This
process can often be performed in under an hour and it accomplishes two important goals.
First, it will tell you how much house you can afford and what your monthly payments would
be. Second, it shows the seller that you are serious about purchasing their home.
Shopping For Homes
It’s time to start checking out actual properties. Beginning this search online can save you time
as it helps you target homes that meet your search criteria. Our property search can even email
you when properties come on the market that meet your search criteria.
Inspection & Insurance
After your offer is accepted we will help you set up, coordinate and interpret various inspections,
including termite, building quality, title, etc. You will also need to arrange for homeowners
insurance and finalize the mortgage.
The Closing
Before you arrive at the closing, we’ll help you make sure all the necessary paper work and
deposits have been completed. Once you close, it's official - you own the house! But there
might be a few things you want to do before you lay out the welcome mat. These include
arranging for an alarm system, turning on the electricity, gas, water.
