Preparation

A POSTION OF POWER IS A BUYER WHO HAS A PRE-QUALIFICATION LETTER IN HAND! When a seller is considering two or more offers- it’s not always the offer price that wins the deal- it’s the strength of the offer; your pre-qualification letter will show the seller you are ready to buy! Pre-approval for a loan positions you to act quickly when you find the home you want.

Title

STEPS TO CLOSE

Once your offer is accepted by the seller, you’ll want to have professional inspectors evaluate your home. We can recommend which inspections your property will need and how to select a proper inspector.

Your lender will let you know if and when additional documents are needed to approve your loan application. They will send an appraiser out to the property. Appraisers are specialists in determining the value of properties based on a combination of square footage measurements, building costs, and recent sales of comparable properties. 

Your lender will require that your new home be insured. Give me a call for my recommendations.

A few days before you take over the property, we’ll do one last inspection – the “walk through” – to make sure everything is in order.

  • You will have to transfer the utilities and services of the house over to your own name, effective the day you take possession of the house.
  • When your transaction is nearly completed, the title company will provide you with a “closing statement” that details all of the financials of your home purchase. As the last step in the buying process, the title company will have you sign the final documents, including loan documents (“deeds of trust”). When everything is complete, the title company will record the transaction for you at the County Assessor’s Office, and you will become the official new owner.
