Your Roadmap To A Purchase

This is the handbook we hand to every buyer we work with: all 20 pages of it, nothing removed. It covers getting pre-approved, the home search and writing an offer, what happens once you are under contract, the costs to plan for, and every step from pre-approval to keys in hand.

Turn the pages below, or take the PDF with you. You do not have to give us anything to read it.

Inside

What It Covers

  • Getting Pre-Approved

    Why to talk to a lender before you start touring, the documents a lender will ask for, the questions worth asking when you interview one, and the lender we know and trust.

  • The Home Search

    Previewing homes, what goes into writing the offer, and how to put your best foot forward when a home has multiple offers.

  • Under Contract

    The 10 to 15 day inspection period and the inspector we recommend, the loan application and appraisal, the title search, homeowner's insurance and the home warranty.

  • The Costs To Plan For

    Earnest money, the down payment and closing costs, with what each one typically runs, so there are no surprises at closing.

  • Clear To Close

    What not to do before closing day, what clear to close means, and the last step: keys in hand.

The handbook answers most of it. For the part specific to you (your budget, your timing, the homes worth seeing), that is a conversation.
