Pre-Approval - Why Get Pre-Approved?
- With a pre-approval you will know what the appropriate price range is for your current situation. Knowing this information will also tell you what monthly payment you can expect to pay.
- Having a pre-approval will also give you an edge over other buyers making you more attractive to sellers. The sellers will know that you mean business.
- Having already gone through the pre-approval process will help make your loan application go that much smoother.
Finding Your Home
- The biggest resource for someone looking to buy a home is a qualified Real Estate Agent. You need someone who is going to work for you and in your best interest. Best of all they collect their commission from the seller, not from you!
- When looking for the right Agent to work with, you need to find someone who understands your needs and you feel comfortable with.

Make an Offer & Sign a Purchase Agreement
- Once you find the home you are looking for the next step is to make your initial offer.
- With your Real Estate Agent, you will fill out a purchase agreement. On the purchase agreement you will find things like an offer amount, date you would like to take possession and things you want to have the seller leave in the house when they leave such as things like a refrigerator or a washer and dryer.
- You may find yourself in a counteroffer. That is when the seller of the property wishes to make changes to the purchase agreement. If you find yourself in this situation don't worry. This is where your Real Estate Agent will be able to help you negotiate for what you want.
Closing Your Loan
- Now that you have a signed contract, it's time to work on getting your loan closed. I will collect a copy of the final purchase agreement, appraisal and credit report fee, updated financial statements, and insurance information.
- After I have collected this information I can lock you into an interest rate and order the appraisal for the property.
- Once I have all the required documents, your loan will be given its final approval and shipped to my closing department. The closing department will prepare your final documents and soon after you will be ready to sign your final paperwork.
Moving Day!
- Now that all your paperwork has been signed and all the funds have been disbursed it's time to pick up your keys and make your new home your own. Follow my moving guide and check out some of my helpful hints for moving.
