Step Two - Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

The next step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This involves meeting with a lender and providing your financial information, so they can determine how much they're willing to lend you.

Step Three - Contact Us

Having a good real estate agent on your side can make all the difference when buying your first home. We'll guide you through the process and help you find properties that fit your needs and budget.

Step Four - Search for Homes

Now it's time to start searching for your dream home. Your agent will help you create a wish list and set a budget. You can search for homes online or attend open houses to get a feel for different properties.

Step Five - Make an Offer

Once you find a home you love, it's time to make an offer. Your agent will help you craft a competitive offer that takes into account the home's value and local market conditions.

Step Six - Home Inspection

After your offer is accepted, it's important to have a home inspection. This is a thorough evaluation of the home's condition, including the structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

Step Seven - Home Appraisal

Your lender will order a home appraisal to determine the market value of the property. This ensures the loan amount aligns with the home's actual value.

Step Eight - Wait for Clear to Close

Once all contingencies are met, you'll receive a "clear to close" from your lender. At the closing, you'll sign all necessary paperwork and receive the keys to your new home.
