How to Prepare & What to Expect
How do I prepare myself to buy a house?
Before diving into the financial details, take a moment to reflect on why you want to buy a home. It’s more than just a purchase—it’s an investment in your future. Talk to people who have gone through the process and start considering your long-term goals. I recommend driving through neighborhoods to get a feel for where you might want to live, and make a list of your priorities. It’s a big decision, but having a clear vision will help you stay focused.
How much house can I afford?
Check Your Credit Score
- Your credit score plays a significant role in how much you can borrow and what interest rate you’ll get. If your score needs some improvement, I can connect you with resources to help.
Track Your Budget
- Start tracking your spending now to understand your financial picture and get comfortable with managing monthly mortgage payments.
Calculate Your Down Payment
- Be sure to account for your down payment and closing costs as you plan your savings. I can guide you through these numbers to make sure you’re prepared.
Plan Your Finances
- Once you have a savings goal, let’s discuss how to reach it. Whether through budgeting, refinancing, or selling an existing home, I’ll provide personalized advice.
How to find the right home?
Once your finances are ready, we’ll start touring homes. I’ll set you up with real-time updates for new listings and help you evaluate each one. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or take your time during tours—this is a major decision. I’ll also help you assess the neighborhood and potential for long-term growth.
How do I make an offer on a home?
When you’ve found the home that feels right, I’ll help you craft a strong, fair offer based on market analysis and comparable home sales in the area. I’ll negotiate on your behalf and guide you through the paperwork.
What do I do once my offer has been accepted?
Once your offer is accepted, we’ll proceed with inspections, appraisals, and final details. I’ll help you coordinate everything, including a thorough inspection to ensure no hidden surprises. If necessary, we’ll renegotiate the sale price based on the findings.
How do I finalize my home financing?
We’ll go back to your lender to finalize your financing. I’ll help make sure all documents are submitted and that you’re aware of the final costs, including closing fees.
How do I close the deal?
Before closing day, I’ll schedule a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything is in order. On the big day, I’ll stay in touch with the lawyers and, of course, you’ll be handed the keys to your new home!
