The Home Buying Process: 9 Steps From Search to Sold
Wondering how to buy a home? Our nine-step home buying roadmap takes you from your initial consultation and mortgage pre-approval through house hunting, negotiations, inspections, financing, and closing.
Here's what to expect along the way.
Nine steps at a glanceSelect any step to read more about that part of the buying process.
Meet With Your Real Estate Agent
Your home buying journey begins with a conversation about your goals, budget, preferred locations, and must-have features. We'll analyze your needs, explain the home buying process, and create a personalized strategy to help you find the right home.
Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Before you begin touring homes, we'll help you connect with a trusted mortgage lender who can evaluate your finances and determine your potential buying power. Getting pre-approved helps establish a realistic price range and positions you to make a stronger offer when you find the right property.
Select & View Properties
Now the exciting part begins! We'll identify homes that match your needs, schedule private showings, and help you evaluate properties, neighborhoods, and market conditions so you can make an informed decision.
Make an Offer & Negotiate
Once you've found the right home, we'll prepare a competitive offer based on the property's value, current market conditions, and your priorities. We'll advocate for your interests, negotiate terms, and manage counteroffers when necessary to help you secure the best possible outcome.
Ratify the Contract & Complete Inspections
Once you and the seller agree on the terms and sign the contract, you'll submit your earnest money deposit according to the agreement. We'll help coordinate applicable inspections, including home, termite, well, and septic inspections, and guide you through any findings, negotiations, or next steps.
Finalize Your Mortgage & Obtain Loan Approval
Your lender will complete the mortgage application and underwriting process, including credit review, income and asset verification, and a property appraisal. We'll help you stay on track with important deadlines as you work toward final loan approval and clearance to close.
Coordinate With the Title Company
The title or settlement company will research the property's ownership history, identify potential title issues, and coordinate the deed and other documents required for closing. We'll work closely with the settlement team to help ensure the necessary paperwork and arrangements are in place.
Complete Your Final Walk-Through
Just before closing, we'll walk through the property with you to verify its condition and confirm that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed. This is your opportunity to identify any last-minute concerns before settlement.
Close on Your New Home!
It's time to make it official! You'll review and sign your closing documents, complete the financial settlement, and, once all contractual requirements are satisfied, receive the keys to your new home.
