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
