BUYER'S GUIDE

JOURNEY TO YOUR NEW HOME

Step 1

Get prequalified with a local lender. I can help
you locate a trusted lender if needed.

Step 3

Submit an offer! I will negotiate on your
behalf to secure the purchase.

Standard closing period is 30 days once the offer is accepted..

Step 5

Appraisal ordered by your lender.

Step 7

Any repairs completed by the seller are 
signed off on or re-negotiated.

Step 9

Closing documents arrive at escrow and will be ready for your signature and the loan funds. Sale records.

Consult with me and make a personalized plan.

Step 2

We'll begin the search for your new home.

Step 4

Home inspection & other contingency periods.

  • Home inspection: Standard is 10 Business Days. I recommend a general home inspection, radon testing and sewer scope. Depending on the property age and type, I may recommend additional tests and inspections. I will provide you with a list of trusted inspectors if needed. You can expect to pay $400-$800 for inspections depending on what is requested. 

  • Additional contingency periods: These can include acceptance of HOA terms and property disclosures. We will discuss these as needed. 

Step 6

Appraisal appointment completed & results are delivered to the lender.

Step 8

Closing disclosures are sent to you to sign by the lender.

Step 10

 Welcome home!
