There are many steps to buying a home that are crucial to the Real Estate Transaction process.

The first most important step is to get Pre-Approved for a loan.This is a simple process that will show the seller you have already looked in to the finances and are a serious buyer,

Second, it is important to find a home you like in your price range. Do a little research for this, visit open houses and check online to search for houses in your area. Using a Buyers Agent would be a great thing to do so that you find the house that is right for you, and help you with preparing you for the transaction.

When buying a home, the third step is to submit an offer. This is another thing a Buyers Agent can help you do efficiently by writing a contract that states your offer and finance options.

Next is the inspection. Assuming the offer is accepted by both the seller and the buyer after negotiations, a deposit will be put in place and an inspection should take place. Buying a house is a very large investment, and an inspector will help avoid unexpected problems with the house.

Setting up homeowners insurance and finalizing finances is one of the final steps to purchasing a home. After the inspection and any possible needed repairs have been brought to the attention of the buyer, rates begin to get locked in, and documents will be sent off ready to be finalized. Homeowners insurance will need information about your new home before the documents can be finalized.

The house is now ready for a walkthrough so that the buyer can be certain the house is to their satisfaction. This is the last time you can suggest a pause in the process, because once the house is yours there is very little else you can do through the seller.

The final step is the key exchange. Some final documents will be brought to the new home where the buyer and agent will carefully read through and sign the pages, and within a few days, Closure will take place and the keys will be yours.

You should have your agents number on quick dial. On our site you can set a REALTY WATCHER and get automatic notifications when homes hit the market. If something comes up that you are interested in, call quickly and lets go take a look. Being first in is always good.
