There are two phases to the buying process; finding the right home and making
the purchase. Let me use my knowledge of the area, understanding of the
transaction process and negotiating skill to make your purchase an enjoyable
experience.
Finding the Right Home
At the beginning of the process, we start by using your goals and timeframe to
create a search strategy.
1. Set goals & timeframe
2. Map out a strategy
3. Mortgage prequalification
4. Identifying candidates
5. Schedule showings
6. Evaluate options
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 as needed
Buying the Home
Once you decide on a home, we begin the transaction, which starts with
negotiating a price.
1. Negotiate with the seller, offer accepted
2. Initial deposit (typically $1,000)
3. Inspection contingency
4. Second deposit (typically 5% - 10% of purchase price)
5. Appraisal
6. Satisfaction of mortgage contingency
7. Final walkthrough
8. Closing
9. Move in!
Hi Amy,
We wanted to thank you for helping us find a house that is perfect for the two
of us. Walking around the house today I’m amazed that we are already moving in.
You were instrumental in getting us through the details and straight into what
we wanted, a new home. Thanks for making it a great experience.
N.L. & C.E.
