During our initial meeting, we'll get to know you and your goals and determine the best plan for you, including establishing search criteria, wishlist and timelines. We'll also take this time to explain how we plan to represent and guide you at every step of the process.
The last thing you want to do is fall in love with a home that's simply outside of your price range. Getting pre-approved for a loan will prevent this from happening and allow you to focus on looking at homes that not only meet your criteria but more importantly, fit within your price range.
At this point, our team will be sharing the most relevant properties that we think are a good match, setting up private tours, doing diligence on the properties of interest and running comparable data to provide offer strategy.
Not only will we send you listings that meet your criteria, run our off-market playbook to find additional opportunities. This includes pulling all potential inventory matches, doing letter outreaches, making phone calls, emailing and texting to get appointments.
We'll offer our professional opinion of value and help you write a competitive offer, which is important in such a competitive market. We'll explain the entire process, including important dates and contingencies so there are no surprises if our offer is accepted.
Your offer got accepted! The first deposit is typically $1000 to $5000 and will be held at this point. *We recommend not making any major purchases on your credit card from this date until closing.
Now the next phase begins. During this period, you will have time to complete a home inspection, test soil and water (if needed), review land surveys, and condo documents. Based on findings, we can either move forward, or negotiate on terms to ensure the process is in your best interest.
Congratulations! It's time to close on your dream home. On settlement day, the final paperwork is signed and the home is officially handed over to you. You'll receive the keys and that's it, you're officially a new homeowner!
