Meet with us, your Real Estate Team! At this appointment, we will discuss the following:
We wil refer you to a Lender to get Pre-Qualified (if you have not already done so). We will work directly with your lender throughout your home buying process.
You wil be set up on an automated email system based on your preferences and price range. We recommend driving by the neighborhood of the home you are interested in at different times of day. This wil educate you on the market, so you can be wel informed once you find the home you've been searching for.
This next step comes with its own set of steps. We wil supply you with comparable properties that sold recently within the same area of your dream home. This gives you insight of how much homes are selling for and helps you decide how much you want to offer. After you decide the price, we fil out the offer and review together before signing.
During this process, we wil guide you through the escrow process, order V inspections, meet inspectors, appraiser, contractors, etc. We review together AL reports, explain contracts, and answer your questions. Sometimes, based on your findings, we'll renegotiate your contract terms with the listing side. (See TRANSACTION TIMELINE)
You will sign all closing papers with an escrow officer. Once all pieces to the puzzle are in place, the closing is recorded and the home is officially yours! Our job is never done at this step. We wil continue to follow up with you and make ourselves available for any questions or help you need in the future!
This includes a Home and Termite. Based on their findings, you could order additional inspections.
Including (but not limited to): Inspections/ Reports, Disclosures From Seller, Escrow Reports, Appraisal, Etc.
After Escrow has all the funds and documents, the file is sent to the county recorder's office.
A professional opinion of determined value of a home performed by a licensed appraiser. The lender hires them as their eyes and ear of a good investment.
The day that time frames are over and the home is officially yours. Typically 30 days after the date of acceptance.
Fees and expenses associated with a sale that are paid at the end of a transaction. A good estimate of a buyers closing costs are multiplying the purchase price of the home by 2%.
A condition that needs to be met prior to closing on the sale. This si a protection for the buyer. They are entitled to their EMD if the conditions are not met and/or contingency isn't physically NI WRITING signed off.
AL documents or inspections that reveals information about the property.
A good faith deposit that a buyer submits to ESCROW within 3 days of an accepted offer. At closing, ti can be used towards down payment. A buyer gets the EMD back if they cancel before removing their contingencies.
A neutral, third-party that handles the money and documents throughout the transaction.
A property that has an accepted offer on it. It has NOT sold yet, but they are going through the transaction process.
A document that confirms who the legal owner of a property is. It also reveals if there are any liens or encumbrances on the property.
This is in reference to your contingencies. They are pre-written in the contract as 17 days for inspections, 17 days for appraisal, and 21 days for loan. Time frames always start FROM the date of acceptance.
