Step 1 – Getting Pre-Approved for Your Home Loan

When embarking on the exciting journey of purchasing a new home, it's crucial to have a crystal-clear understanding of your financial capabilities. This includes grasping the down payment requirements, estimating your monthly mortgage payments, and identifying the most suitable loan program to finance your dream property.

​

Step 2 – Assembling Your Home Buying Team: The Key Players

Purchasing a new home is a multi-faceted journey with various steps, stakeholders, and potential obstacles. In essence, it's a team sport, as numerous tasks, critical timelines, documents, and responsibilities demand meticulous care and attention.

​

Beyond the importance of working with a trustworthy professional team, effective communication and seamless coordination among team members are equally vital. Each player in your home buying process must collaborate efficiently and make well-informed decisions together.

​

Step 3 – Submitting Your Purchase Offer

Assuming you have already obtained mortgage approval and a firm grasp of the type of property within your qualification, your real estate agent will submit your purchase offer to the listing agent or seller. Once your offer is accepted, it marks the commencement of the due diligence period.

​

During this phase, a series of timelines come into play, encompassing final mortgage approval, property appraisal, inspections, and various other requirements stipulated within the terms of the contract.

​

Step 4 – Managing Conditions and Paperwork

At this stage, information and requests flow in from multiple sources, including lenders, processors, insurance agents, sellers, real estate agents, and more. The coordination of these diverse elements is essential to ensure a seamless process.

​

Step 5 – Closing the Deal

A successful closing hinges on the precise alignment of all team members, unified by a common agenda, converging on a specific date. The closing involves meticulous attention to detail, with numbers and figures that must align seamlessly.
