Step By Step Guide in The Buying Process

1

Pre Approval

Arrange a meeting with your bank or mortgage broker prior to house hunting. Obtaining pre-approval can accelerate the approval process and provide you with a clearer understanding of the total costs associated with buying a home.

2

Email Listings

We will send you daily email updates on new and current home listings tailored to your specific criteria, keeping you informed and ensuring you don’t miss any opportunities in the market.

3

Viewing Properties

If you come across properties you’d like to tour in person, we can arrange private viewings at a time that works best for you.

4

Offer

Once you find a home you love, we’ll comparable similar properties, and assist you in creating an offer before submitting it to the seller’s Realtor.

5

Negotiations

Once an offer is submitted, if the seller declines the initial proposal, we will enter into negotiations, which may involve multiple exchanges before both parties reach an agreement.

6

Inspection & Appraisal

Once the offer is accepted, we’ll forward the information to your bank or mortgage broker. We may need to schedule a home inspection or appraisal and address any additional conditions. After reviewing the inspection report, you can finalize contracts, secure financing, and prepare for closing.

Feel free to celebrate, but remember to keep these essential items in mind:

Utilities & Insurance

After the conditions are lifted, you may proceed to set up your utility account and home insurance to start on the day you take possession.

Lawyer Appt

Before taking possession, you will meet with your lawyer to sign necessary documents, pay your down payment and property taxes (if not included in your mortgage), and review any aspects of the purchase contract that may require attention.

Possession Day

The purchase agreement specifies when you will access the property, and you will receive your new keys after the seller’s lawyer receives the payment.
