THE PURCHASING PATHWAY
A step-by-step game plan for what to expect from initial consultation all the way through to the closing of your home.
INITIAL APPOINTMENT
The purpose of the initial appointment is to understand your "needs and wants" as a buyer. This may be the most critical meeting of the home buying process. During this appointment, the entire purchasing pathway will be discussed.
DETERMINE THE PURCHASING PARAMETERS
There are three criteria every buyer uses to find their home: location, price and style/condition. These criteria, along with your "needs and wants," will determine the properties we search for and the homes we initially view.
ACQUIRE A PRE-APPROVAL
Viewing homes without a pre-approval usually leads to disappointment. Buyers who are wise discuss their financial situation with a reputable lender and acquire a pre-approval. A pre-approval creates an opportunity for you to not just understand what you qualify for, but ultimately to decide what you can afford. Having a preapproval greatly enhances your negotiating position - especially in a competitive market.
