Frequently Asked Buyer Questions.

Contact us if you have questions that aren't answered below.

Get pre-approved.  If you spend time looking for homes you will not be able to afford you will be set up for disappointment.  Be very careful not to purchase a big ticket item before closing. You could kill the deal.


The timeline for buying a home is different from person to person.  There are factors of your personal schedule, what's available and the amount of time looking. Don't get discouraged. The right one will come along.


Determine a fair asking price starting with the comps.  We will compare the location, updates, and condition of the property  to other homes that have been recently sold. HR will write up the offer and deliver.


An inspector will cover features of the house such as electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, insulation, as well as structural features of the home and may unveil issues that are not noticeable.

Under Contract? Time is of the Essence.

Deliver the earnest money.

If you have not included the earnest money with the offer, you will generally have 1 - 3 days (depending on what was specified in the offer) to provide proof that it has been received.  

Arrange the home inspection.

Get this done as quickly as possible.  You only have  a short time to get an inspector in the home, determine what you need to have taken care of, and to negotiate with the Seller to provide a reduction in price, repairs, increased seller contributions, etc.

Provide additional documents to the lender.

Your lender may request additional documents to be provided as they work to process your mortgage loan.  You most probably have a financing contingency of around 21 days.  

Arrange for home owner's insurance.

Arrange for adequate insurance and provide the declaration page to your lender and the closing attorney.
