Buying a House? Here's What To Expect

  • Step 1: Sign a Buyer Agreement & Get a Loan Approval
    • Sign a buyer agreement; this is required for your agent to represent you as the buyer
    • Meet with a lender; they will review your finances and credit history
    • Be sure to take all costs into consideration when estimating what you are comfortable paying monthly
    • The lender will pre-approve you and provide you with a document that details how much you can borrow to buy a home
  • Step 2: Begin a Home Search
    • Let us know what your timeline for moving is
    • With a price range in mind, make a list of neighborhoods that you're interested in, and must and must not have's for your new home
    • User, our website (http://www.frgmd.com) to begin a preliminary search
    • Create a profile on our site so you can keep track of home viewed; this will help us show you properties as close to your specifications as possible
  • Step 3: Make an Offer
    • Once you've found the home you'd like to buy, it's time to submit a contract. Contracts enable you to specify a sale price and also include many clauses for specifying various terms of purchase, such as the closing and possession dates, your deposit amount, and other conditions
    • Deposits are typically 1%-5% of the offer price
    • Once we've written the offer, we will present it to the seller
    • The seller can accept your offer, reject it, or counter it to initiate the negotiation process
    • When the offer is accepted we will begin following through with the offer conditions
    • Be prepared for expenses such as home & termite inspections, application fees, and prepay homeowner's insurance before closing.
  • Step 4: Secure Financing
    • Go back to your chosen lender to finalize your mortgage details so you can close the deal
    • You will finalize your down payment, interest rate, regular payment schedule and any other financial conditions associated with the closing
    • It is important to stay clear of any big credit purchases that may affect your ability to secure a loan
  • Step 5: Go to Settlement
    • The settlement company will perform a title search to ensure that there are no claims against the title
    • We will perform a final walkthrough of the property to ensure it's in the same condition as when you made the offer
    • The settlement will include paying your closing costs, legal fees, property adjustments, and transfer taxes
    • At that point, you will receive the property title and copies of all documentation pertaining to the purchase
    • Unless otherwise agreed, you will immediately assume possession

“I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. We looked at many homes and Andy provided us with the information we needed or asked for. As in selling our home once again he gave us so much assistance on what was or will be needed for us to move forward. I would recommend Andy Bowen to anyone I know looking for a realtor.”
