The Many Facets of Buying a Home

When you’re searching for the right property, there are many factors to keep in mind. We’ve made the process much easier in this guide, going through a variety of facets of the process in detail, including:

  • Defining your goals and researching your options: The process starts with deciding what you want in a home and searching for potential matches.
  • Figuring out when to buy a home: Buying a home varies by season, and there are many differences in how to approach the process depending on whether it’s spring, summer, fall or winter.
  • Contacting a realtor: The next step is getting in touch with a qualified realtor who can help you with your search, and de-mystify the process of applying and negotiating.
  • Getting pre-approved for a loan: Now you need to determine the amount you’re working with, so you can begin to search for homes in your price range.
  • Searching for a home: Viewing inventory and choosing the right home for you is one of the most exciting, and yet one of the most frustrating, steps of all. By the time you embark on this process, it’s good to have a thorough understanding of the real estate market.
  • Examining your criteria: Now it’s time to select a home that you will be happy with long-term, taking into considerations the scope of the house currently, what types of updates it can support, the yard and neighborhood, schools in the area (important even if you don’t yet have a family, but plan to), and more. Our realtors will walk you through the elements to consider so you don’t end up with buyer’s regret.
  • Making an offer: Negotiating with the seller to settle on a price for the home is difficult, and requires a great deal of finesse.
  • Securing your financing: This is when you transition from your loan pre-approval amount to the final loan amount from your lending institution. You will need to complete an inspection and appraisal before this can happen
  • Conduct final assessments: The last step is ensuring your home is as you expect it, perform a title search to make sure it is free and clear, and nail down any last minute details.
