Home Buying Process
The first step in the homebuying process is to select a Realtor to assist you. The next step will be to get pre-approved.
If you don't know how or where to get pre-approved Katie works with a handful of great lenders.
The pre-approval process takes less than an hour most times and after that you can begin searching for a home.
The next steps in the process are; submitting an offer on the one you choose, negotiations, inspection, getting the lender all required documents, appraisal, survey, title policy, final walk-thru, and then finally...
CLOSING!
Knowledge is Key
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make.
It could be the best investment you ever make
and it could be the worst!
This is a big reason why having your own Realtor/Real Estate Professional is important!
Katie will research the subdivison or area of your choice and provide you with comparables for the home you choose.
Katie also goes above and beyond by researching the listing broker, agent, or builder to see how much experience they have and if they have a tendency to over-price thier listings.
