Buying a home is one of the largest investments you will ever make. Choosing a well-informed real estate professional to guide you through this important transaction can save time and make home buying easier.
After selecting Rise Real Estate Parkway Perimeter, you should meet with a lender to pre-qualify for a loan.
Now, it is time to determine your housing needs. How many bathrooms and bedrooms does your family require? What type of neighborhood appeals to you? Do you prefer a Victorian, a contemporary, traditional, or historic home?
After this is determined, your sales agent will show you prospective homes that fit these preferences and fall within a predetermined budget. When you have selected a home, your agent will help you prepare and present an offer to the seller.
An offer is a proposed sales contract. If the seller accepts it, you have a binding agreement. For this reason your first offer should be as much in your favor as you can make it.
There is no standard real estate purchase contract. You can modify or add anything to a standard contract form. If the seller agrees, you have a deal. If not, you negotiate or keep looking.
Your offer should state…
What fixtures, appliances and personal property (draperies, furniture, etc.) are to be sold with the home.
Your REALTOR® will then go with you through the steps to closing, including obtaining a professional home inspection.
