Ready to buy a home?

The home buying process can vary based on location and personal circumstances but there are a few steps that everyone must take to buy a new home -whether you are a first-time or seasoned buyer.

​STEP ONE: Financial Readiness and Pre-Approval

  • Before you start house hunting, assess your financial situation, including your credit score, savings, and monthly budget.

  • Get pre-approved for a mortgage to determine your budget range and show sellers you're a serious buyer.

​STEP TWO: Define Your Home Preferences

  • Make a list of your priorities, such as location, size, number of bedrooms, amenities, and any specific features you want. This will help narrow down your search and save time.

​STEP THREE: House Hunting and Research

  • Start searching for homes online, through real estate listings, and by working with a real estate agent.

  • Attend open houses, schedule private showings, and research neighborhoods to find the best match for your preferences.​

​STEP FOUR: Making an Offer and Negotiating

  • Once you find a home you like, work with your real estate agent to make an informed offer based on market research and your budget.

  • Negotiate with the seller to reach an agreement on the price, contingencies, and other terms.
