Buying Process
Now that you’ve decided to take the plunge, let’s talk about what you can expect from the home buying process itself. This is a chaotic time with offers and counter offers flying back and forth, but if you are prepared for the hassle and the paperwork, you can get through the process very easy.
What you can expect:
1) Find a home.
2) Consider your financing options and secure financing.
3) Make a fair offer.
4) Obtain a home inspection.
5) Close or move on to the next home to make an offer.
? Remember that the more you educate yourself about the process beforehand, the less stressful it will be, and the more likely you will get the house you want for a price you can afford.
