The Roadmap To Buying Your Home
Phase 1
Hire Lisa as Your Agent
As your knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent I can guide you through the buying process, provide valuable market insights, and negotiate on your behalf.
Get Pre-Approved
Securing a pre-approval from a lender gives you a clear understanding of your borrowing capacity. This step strengthens your position as a serious buyer and helps streamline the purchasing process.
Determine House Budget
Assess your finances to establish a realistic house budget. Consider your savings, monthly income, and expenses to ensure you can comfortably afford your new home.
Define Search Criteria & Goals
Identify the essential features you desire in a home, such as location, size, and amenities. This helps narrow down your search to properties that best match your needs and preferences.

Phase 3
Navigate Financing, Appraisal, Title
Work with your lender to finalize your mortgage, ensuring the appraisal and title search are completed. This step confirms the property's value and ensures a clear title for a smooth transaction.
Navigate Inspection / Final Walk-through
Schedule a home inspection to identify any potential issues. Conduct a final walk-through before closing to ensure all agreed-upon repairs are completed and the property is in the expected condition.
Send Down Payment & Sign at Closing
Transfer your down payment and attend the closing meeting to sign the necessary documents. This final step officially transfers ownership and allows you to take possession of your new home.
Congratulations!
