We’re here to ensure your home-buying experience never feels overwhelming.
Joyner Fine Properties has been one of the top real estate companies in Central Virginia for 50 years, so our agents know this market inside and out. As you begin to explore houses, we will support you with research and a well-trained eye for potential issues. Some homes have signs of problems you may not see—like structural issues, leaks or design choices that can cause problems for you in the future when it comes to resale. We’ve seen it all, and we’re there every step of the way to help you make an informed choice. When it comes time to make an offer, we’ll ensure you understand the home’s true value. Based on data and experience, we will know if the house you are considering is priced too high or too low, and will help you craft an offer that will make it stand out from other potential buyers.

Buy confidently with a professional property inspection.
Once the seller has accepted our offer, we will help you arrange for a property inspection.
Through our extensive network of contacts, we can bring in experts on an as needed basis to help address issues such as: • Electrical • Plumbing • Mold • HVAC • Termites & Pests • Fireplace Chimneys & Flues • Irrigation Systems • Pools & Spas • Roofs
Inspectors will point out specific items that should be repaired or replaced prior to closing. They usually provide cost estimates for those repairs, which we will use to help negotiate with the seller to reduce your expenses and make sure your new home is in the finest shape.

Choose Your Lender You can select your own financing partner, or we can put you directly in contact with our friendly lenders at Virginia Credit Union.
Loan Processing Once your lender has your signed documents and application deposit to proceed, they will order an appraisal and preliminary title work for the property. Guiding you through this stage of the process will be your loan processor, who will work closely with your loan officer. Underwriting And Loan Decision The loan decision involves reviewing the property, your loan application information and documentation, the amount you are requesting and the specific loan program requirements based on your income, debts and assets. You will be notified of the decision as soon as it is available. Once final approval is given, your loan will be prepared for closing. Before your closing with a settlement agent or attorney, they will prepare and send you an initial closing disclosure for your review. This is a statement of loan terms and closing costs, which includes funds you will be receiving and those you may need to provide for closing. They will also prepare your loan documents and send them to the settlement agent/ attorney handling your closing. Document Preparation And Loan Closing

Select The Type Of Mortgage Your mortgage loan officer will talk with you to learn about your individual situation and help you evaluate your options. You should consider getting pre-qualified for a set loan amount. A pre-qualification letter is an important tool that says to the seller you’re serious about your intent to buy. Apply For Your Loan You should apply as soon as you have a ratified sales contract. A loan estimate disclosure package will be sent to you containing important information and documents for you to review, sign and return to proceed with the processing of your mortgage. This includes your authorization to collect an application deposit that will be applied toward the cost of your loan.
